Which kind of goldfish is friendliest?

[Piranha86]

I may be getting fancy goldfish soon, what is the kind that's most interactive/friendly? I'll probably get 1 or 2, but which kind is nicest to humans?

Goldfish are all really friendly and a little timid. I think the googly eyed calico ones are so cute!!

WHAT SIZE TANK DO YOU HAVE?? GOLDISH NEED 100 GALLONS EACH YOU KNOW. YOU DIDN'T ASK ABOUT TANK SIZE BUT I'M HERE AND READY TO JUMP ON YOU ABOUT IT. I AM A TANK SIZE COP- HEAR ME ROAR.

Lol jk. Almost any goldfish is friendly.. but as you may know the fancy varietys tend to be a bit more placid. This is in part due to their physical design; they just can't swim as quickly as their common counterpart can. I have three fancies right now and they're very friendly- if a bit shy at times.

Ok. I can't decide b/t black moors and orandas. I'll have to figure it out...

So how big is the tank you're gonna put them in?

I *think* black moors are smaller, so I would go with just for ease of filtration and care (unless you go a nice size tank)

I have moors and orandas. They are roughly the same size. Orandas can get as large as large bread plates. Mine fill the palm of my hand easily. Personally, I think Moors are one of the coolest fish out there, but I'm a little partial, as you can see from my avatar!

If I do decide to, it'll be a 37 with 2 Tetra PF40 filters.

I like moors. I have 2 in my pond.

I think they're pretty cool, too.

What I think I'll do, I'll keep them in my tank for a while, and if they do end up getting too big, I'll put them in my 70g pond with the 2 other ones.

I`ve got a few Orandas and they are friendly as a puppy. I just make sure i buy the most engaging fish at the store. Worth purchasing quality right from the start.

I havnt kept goldfish in many years but I do have Jaws, a little one inch fantail. He is very friendly and in fact ate bloodworms from my finger today. I love my Betta and Cories but it didnt take long for Jaws to become my favorite.
