Comet goldfish aggression

[Steve Carter]

Slight change of direction if I may..... I put 5-comets in my pond in April. They are all one colour apart from one which has become slightly larger than the rest & has silver patches on its flanks & around its mouth. Whenever I feed them this one chases them around non-stop. They all get away & come back to the feeding area pretty quickly. I am concerned that this overtly aggressive behaviour will stress & damage the other fish. Any ideas how to stop or modify its aggression welcome.

How big is the pond? If large enough add food in different parts of the pond, so they all don’t feed in the same spot.

Also, you will get more attention to your question, if you start another thread, rather than piggyback on a 7 year old one.
