Talk:Common goldfish

message: In the U.S., comet goldfish appears to have been bred extensively as a feed fish, i.e. as live feed for larger fishes. Are there articles providing data on Comet's growth rate, breeding mechanism, ect for such a purpose?

message: I don't think the image contributes anything, the colors are grainy and the motion is erratic. Can someone replace it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.1.185.102 (talk) 18:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "With proper love, care and good breeding a Common Goldfish can live to be of great age."
Okay, is the "love" part necessary? Really? I'm not asking to take it out, and I won't edit it, but it just doesn't seem like something that's common to see in Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.29.143.156 (talk) 23:00, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seriously? 

message: Goldfish can live "long periods of time." Seriously? What does that mean? 20 minutes? Or 300 years? It makes more sense to just remove the section entirely until it contains actual numbers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.65.2.249 (talk) 03:53, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Quoting the article:  "Common goldfish or hibuna are a type of goldfish with no other modifications from their ancestors other than their colour. Most varieties of fancy goldfish were derived from this simple breed."
Can someone explore the term "simple breed"?  If not, I think it should be deleted.

message: "Feeder fish" is not a name of for the common goldfish. Feeder fish are just any fish that are used as live feed for other fish. Common goldfish are used as feeder fish, as we mention in this article, but are only one of the types used as feeder fish (see Feeder fish). I'm removing this from the lede.

replies: text: And removed again.  Feeder fish are sometimes common goldfish, but that does not make "feeder fish" another name for "common goldfish". That's like saying that "pet" is another name for "pig" because some pigs are kept as pets. Meters (talk) 02:16, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
