TOP 10 FANCY GOLDFISH for a POND! - Can Fancy Goldfish live outdoors?

In this video I’m going to name my top 10 fancy goldfish that, after some research and talking to other hobbyists, I believe can be kept outdoors in ponds in the UK.
I want to say a huge thanks to the people who shared footage & gave me advice, this is an awesome hobby. I hope you enjoy!

Loved the video. I started an outside tub last year and successfully overwintered two fantail goldfish.

[@fatheadedfish]

Thanks for that! Appreciate the comment :) thats interesting to hear that a fantail has overwintered. Like I said in the video there are so many factors that make it possible or not!

[@Mrsdenisegreen]

Brilliant. Thank you

[@fatheadedfish]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Comets are very sturdy! My mom has them on a semi-indoor pond for years

[@fatheadedfish]

Yes there are love a classic long bodied fish like a comet!

[@dejc2002]

Thx for your video. I have oranda and fantail all year around outside. We have in winter sometimes - 15 c.

[@fatheadedfish]

Wow that’s amazing. And you do not noticed any health problems with the Oranda? Where are you based?

[@dejc2002]

@@fatheadedfish not until now. But now we have frogs as well and let's see next year, if something changes.

Our winters aren't as harsh in SA, im in a part of the country thats near tropical, which as a goldfish farmer that's great for me

[@fatheadedfish]

Ahh you have the opportunity to keep loads of different varieties outside! I will have to check out your videos!

[@Smog104]

Good video mate abd I’ve kept most of those varieties, is it not the 12 reds on a Jikin ? And is the Comet not an American fancy goldfish? It’s the only one that they claim to have developed, obviously London and Bristols here . It’s said Hugo Murlett developed it in the 1880s . I do know sone refer to common Shubunkins as the calico comet and they originated in Japan I believe but the actual Comet is attributed to the USA . I’m only quoting sources and I may well be incorrect

[@fatheadedfish]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the comment and the feedback! I think I said 6 points in the video for the colouration of the Jikin as I spoke about sets of fins rather than each fin individually..and the and gill pates, lips, dorsal etc. As far I was aware the comet originated from china. The Shubunkin has been developed in Japan, uk, china and the United States so as far as I’m aware there are loads of varieties. You may be right that the actual comet attributed to the USA, It was a mind field trying to source all the info. I’m just hoping by my sources! Thanks for the input :)

@@fatheadedfish yea Shubs defo grew outa the far east , the actual Comet the Yanks claim . I get your point on the 12 reds thing I see whatcha mean . When I get settled I have to get Jikin again

[@edwardsdeacon]

🙏🏽 Comets are from the United States not China.

[@fatheadedfish]

Yes you are correct! Developed by Hugo Mulertt in the states! The book for pointing. This out I knew I would make at least one mistake!
