Had two red comets in a tank one of them has died. Will the one
remaining fish be ok or should we get a replacement for the one that
died? I don't want to put another goldfish in if it is at all possible
as the tank is only 5 gallons but if the remaining fish is going to
"pine"...

This is a conundrum between goldfishs' natural communal drive and space to
live. I go for not replacing the fish and getting a bigger thank ASAP and
adding another. My experience (I keep goldfish) is that they most
definately grow fond of one another...but I have Orandas and not comets.

====================================
I would get at least a 20g tank and then buy another goldfish to keep him
company. Goldfish are not small fish. Commets can reach almost a foot in
length when healthy and well care for.
