Many goldfish types are very hardy, especially the Common Goldfish and the Comet Goldfish. These two are great for beginners. The Fantail Goldfish and Shubunkin Goldfish are also good beginner fish. Other hardier types include the Black Moor Goldfish and the Ryukin Goldfish. Once you've gained experience and confidence in keeping these hardier goldfish, try some of the more delicate, fancy goldfish like the Bubble-eye Goldfish, Celestial Goldfish, Oranda Goldfish, or Lionhead.
