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?

About the taxbox: It may not be needed, but isn't it informative for somebody who stumbles upon this page? Why not leave it?

Yes, I see the reasons for keeping it and so I think it would be good for there to be a taxobox.--Bjwebb (talk) 20:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The sickness section of this article needs a definite revision. It seems quite far from neutral, especially the plea at the end to help a sick goldfish, and the grammar and wording in some parts is atrocious. Also, I highly suspect that most of the research used to compose this section is original. I'll work on the grammar and some of the wording myself, but something has to be done about the general quality of this section. - 206.116.28.142 13:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a note about how inexpensive gold fish are (twelve cents in the United States) should be put here? EarthGuardian 16:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a cleanup of the article and i think that the banner could be removed now. The article isn't great and there's plenty more to add but I dont think there is a need for a banner now--Bjwebb (talk) 14:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
