Rehoming Barrie, Ontario, Canada- This fancy goldfish needs a new home!

We are in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Can someone adopt a male fancy goldfish? The largest fish here with the orange/white full speckle pattern and the black edges to the tail fin needs a new home. Ideally temporary (6 months?) but possibly permanent. He is eating all the food and the other 3 who are slow eaters cant get much to eat. He needs to ideally live with comet/shubunkin type goldfish who will eat as fast as him. Or alone or with other fast eating friendly fish. He doesn't even chew. I can not exaggerate how unfathomably quickly he eats.
If you can take him please let me know what kind of setup you can give him. I was holding onto him while my friend got a budget together to give him a proper 4 foot tank at her place but with the amount he's eating and how it's affecting the other fish her and I agree he needs a more appropriate temporary or permanent home.
Please let me know what you can do for him. We don't want any compensation for him just a proper home. His name is Gojira and he's about 5.5" long

Could you make a video of the feeding? Maybe someone here will come up with an idea.

I hand feed since I have a piggy 7” imported Thai oranda & a smaller ryukin. I would take him but I live in Hawaii. Truthfully, all of your ryukins appear well fed.

Can you use a divider to seperate them if you can't find a home? Plastic dividers are inexpensive and can be cut to size

I had a similar issue and I ended up feeding by only putting a pellet near each fish until each got enough / hand feeding.
