The Comet Tail, the Speedy Gonzales among goldfish

The origin of the comet-tail goldfish is in China and was later bred on in the United States. The comet tail is a typical goldfish that became very popular in America due to its external characteristics. The most striking external characteristic of the comet tail is the size of the tail fin. This tail fin can become as long as the total length of the fish itself. This fast swimmer is also called the Speedy Gonzales among goldfish species.
