Answer 2

My friend posted this for me.

My goldfish was purchased in 2001 about a half inch big for a turtle. Well I felt pretty bad and couldn't let them be eaten. So I kept the 2 that were left. Since then I have been upgrading tanks,

constant care of the water. 1 gold fish is female she is almost 17 inches long very beautiful orange and a very big beautiful tail. The other one is a male and is dull orange and about 6-7 inches long.

I was looking to sell the goldfish, So, I can start a tropical tank. But actual have no value for her. I was told breeders might pay top dollar for her, because of her size and color,

Everyone that sees her, says Man thats a goldfish! She has even been in the Southtown newspaper!

I can take a video or a picture if someone would like to see.

Yeah my grandma had about four feeder goldfish that lived to be 35 years old. She loved them! The more room they have, the bigger they grow!
She had hers in a pond and they were huge!

Answer 4

Feeder fish all have the potential to grow big, its just dependent on how much you feed them and how much room they have to grow.
