OK, My fish are London Shubunkins and 7 Red and Golden Comets between 2" - 4" long. Not big enough to breed?

Question

There are 15 Blue Shubunkins, 7 Comets. They all swim in a shoal together and don't seem to know there are any different types. They all live in a 245 gallon pond. I am new to this site so I'm really updating on previous questions!

Answer 1

At the size of your fish, they should be old enough to spawn (and they are all varieties of goldfish, so they can spawn with each other).

Here's a link to a site that will let you know what to look for to see if you have spawning condition males: http://www.bristol-aquarists.org.uk/goldfish/info/sexing-fs.htm

If you want to add info to a previous question, use the pencil icon under your question to "add details".

Answer 2

Around 3 years old and they can and will breed together. They are simular only differing in coloration. They may get a little cramped in your pond with so many though when they do reach adult size. Each of those fish can get 10 or more inches, not including the tail.
