I kept goldfish for many years, and they never reached the size of a small orange. In fact, never have I seen a fish that size. You may breed them differently over there, but here they are kept at a relatively small size and used to entertain children. I believe I did see a picture of a goldfish that was about 4 inches before, but that is certainly the largest.

Either way, you and I are not arguing the same thing. We're still talking about different fish who happen to have the same nickname. Comets get large enough that they have to be kept in a large tank or a pond, whereas fantails do not. You're still telling me about eating large fish whereas I am expressing to you that the goldfish I refer to would hardly be an appetizer due to size.

There's really no point arguing about goldfish any longer, it's completely deviated from the topic and original point, and we're still going to argue small fish vs. bigger fish.
