How do I give my fantail goldfish the best possible life?

We really love our goldfish and want to make sure he’s as happy and healthy as he possibly can be. We’ve had him about 3 1/2 years during which time he’s at least tripled in size and is now about 4 inches long.

He’s just upgraded into a freshly cycled 60litre tank with his old substrate and ornaments. We feed him flakes once a day and some peas every now and then. Is this enough or should I try him with some of the bloodworms / brine shrimp my tropicals love?

He started out as one of three but all the others didn’t survive and he has proven to be a bit of a bully however I have read that goldfish do better with some company – should we get him a new tankmate or will this stress him out after being on this own for so long?

If anyone has any top tips I’d be grateful.

Thanks!
