They are prone to fin nipping because many other fish are attracted to their long flowing fins. Phoenix is the long-tailed version of the eggfish goldfish. It is the veiltail equivalent of the dorsal finless goldfish.
The oranda is a metallic or matte scaled goldfish that is similar in appearance to the veiltail. It has a large, long and deep body accompanied by a long quadruple tail.

They breeds differ in the relative size of the body and fins. The comet goldfish has longer fins but a shorter and slender body size, and thus resembles tracing comets. The most recognizable difference is their tails. Usually, a common goldfish has a short stubby tail, and the comet's tail extends over half of the body length.
