The fantail goldfish is a fancy variety that has been bred to have a double tail, fused along the dorsal edge. The fantail has a medium to short body profile, giving them some swimming difficulties. This variety should only be kept indoors, in a tank that’s at least 20 gallons, because the exertion of outdoor swimming would be too much for them. Their slow swimming makes it hard for them to compete for food against fast-swimming fish and makes them easy prey for predators if kept in an outdoor pond.
