Sorry Lee, the red and whites are sarassa, comets are
goldfish with long fins and tail. Shubunkin can be red,
white and black or blue, black and red or even blue and
yellow and white. The LFS is selling 7-8" comets with
white finsa and tails as veiltails and charging $35.

Wow, this is news to me. I bought my fish labelled as Comets. They are
obviously sarassas; their coloration is in varying patterns of the
red-orange and white, and I only paid about 3.50 for each.

they really arent pond fish.... OTOH, there are Tosakins for shallow (but
protected!!) ponds. they are not mixed with single tailed big comets or koi. the
eye bubbles are not that delicate and if broken they usually re inflate. LOL... GF
do come in most of the same colors as koi... and some are violet and quite blue. But
they are not really pond fish unless this is a very pampered, heated pond. Ingrid

Muffin,

A friend in California breeds and keeps his bubble-eyed goldfish in ponds
year 'round. I have bubble-eyes in my pond. The only thing that you have
to remember is that usually stay mid to bottom in the pond and there should
be no sharp edges in the swim area. They get a long fine.
