| Goldfish were first bred more than a thousand years ago in China, but it was
not until 300 years ago they came to Europe. There are now many varieties
and all sorts of intermediate hybrids, but for convenience they can be divided
into two groups. Pond Types can be left outdoors in the winter, as
long as the proper precautions are taken to protect the fish from freezing, and
that sufficient oxygen is available at all times. Prolonged periods of thick
icing of the pond can cause harm, and even death to the heartiest of pond fish.
Fancy Types have split and ornate tails, and rounded bodies that make
them slower fish. Though they are hardy, they do better if brought indoors before icy
weather arrives. They also do better if they do not have to compete with faster,
more aggressive fish for their food. |

 Sarasa Comets
This variety of comet has special appeal because of the distinctive
scarlet-red and white markings, unlike the common type which may exhibit some
white on an almost red-gold fish.
