Dear helpers; how long can you expect a fan-tailed goldfish to live? Ours is just one year or so - has quadrupled his size, was doing well in out 240 gallon fish pond. Now he lays upside down on ther bottom, looks very bloated. I have posted the Emergency Room Questionaire on my profile page. Godlistener.thegoldfishnet or e-mail: godlistener@peoplepc.com
