That is right. With larger comets and commons, I would sometimes even recommend only 1-2 per 55g tank. I have a comet that is about 14 inches now, and she has a 55g tank mostly to herself; there are a few smaller comets in there but they go outside in warm weather.
Has anyone ever bred GFs? I bred ranchu x telescope; quite inadvertantly actually. I got about 10 eggs that had not been eaten, and only three really survived. They are 2 ranchu and one fantail that are still alive today; neither ranchu developed a wen though (their dad really did not have it either.)
