Ya,most people I met prefer male for the same reason.

Some say males tend to have better colouration,whereas females will grow bigger than males.Wonder if there is any truth.

So I quote myself again, and apparently the above statement is true for koi.

Is it applicable to goldfish?

If it is applicable to goldfish and if indeed size does matter,shouldn't we be hunting for females instead?
