Hahaha I don't know if the above is a good comparison.

One thing about pumping goldfish is that you need make sure the fish is in the right physical shape in order to be pumped. A short body fish if overpumped will have a high chance ending up unbalanced or have swimming disorder. A longer body fish is more ideal for pumping. Make sure you do frequent water changes and keep your water in good condition in order for your fish to grow. Alot depends on good genes too.

Don't know how bulky you want your fish to look...but some bros might agree with me 2 feedings a day is abit too little even for normal growth. I recommend you double your feedings and make sure they can finish the food in 3-4 mins. Do a 30% waterchange every alternate day and you should see some visible result in a week or two.

Yes the risk is higher. But this should apply to all general goldfishes of any shapes as well so let's not overfeed them. Even when they show you the cute, hungry face.

Water quality also plays a big part as well so it is always good to keep it in tip-top condition.
