JE>  Feeder fish (usually comets) are fish that are sickly, or

CS> Got lucky and have had several goldfish comets live 5 years or more. 
     Apparently they have huge life spans when allowed to live in
     the right conditions.
     I found a great book on goldfish here in Vancouver. We have a
     very, very large part of the population here that are asian,
     and there are many aquarium shops in the area. I found a book
     totally about goldfish. Some interesting facts. 
     Goldfish change colour. I wondered why I kept buying these
     interesting fish with black markings, and the marks would
     disappear. 
     I really like the goldfish. I wouldn't mind getting a second
     tank, if I had room, and finding some of the sunspot fish that
     Robert Rice has been talking about, but I don't know if I 
     could find them this far north.
