Look at my little Pip when I first brought him home in Nov/Dec 2015! You wouldn't even know he was the same fish!

He has made an amazing transformation.
Andrea, I am so proud of you!!!
BTW, there is another fish in that barrel
I've actually been considering getting him a friend...a real goldfish friend!
He has never seen another fish, wonder what he would think lolI've actually been considering getting him a friend...a real goldfish friend!

Looks like he's grown quite a bit!
Did you ever figure out where he came from?

Thinking about it, he probably survived by eating mosquito larvae from the barrel.
WHAT A GREAT FISH STORY , THANK YOU BOTH FOR SAVING HIM AND GIVING HIM A LIFE OF HAPPYNES
IF I REMEMBER RIGHT A GOLD FISH GROWS ACORDING TO THE SPACE THEY LIVE IN , THE LARGER THE SPACE THE BIGGER THEY GROW , I ALSO COULD BE WRONG .
THAT BARROL HAD TO BE A GOOD SIZE FOR THAT LITTLE PIP TO SERVIVE FREEZING OVER , THANKS FOR KEEPING IT FULL OF WATER OTHER WISE PIP WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A HAPPY ENDING
I NEW ONING FISH WAS EXPENSIVE BUT NEVER THOUGHT 1 LITTLE GOLDFISH COULD COST SO MUCH ,,LOL
ME I WOULD OF USED MY BIGEST GLASS MIXING BOWL TO START WITH , BUT THEN I NEVER HAD EXCEPT WHEN VERY SMALL GOLDFISH AND TURTLES
THANKS AGAIN FOR BRIGHTING MY DAY

Danita and I think that when she received a plant for her fountain from her neighbor, there must have been an egg on it which hatched and Pip somehow survived for 3 years before being discovered!
Please give a warm welcome to Blu! After 4 weeks in quarantine, Blu will go in the 80 gallon tank and be Pip's one and only friend!
I fell in love with this oranda the second I saw him yawning and chasing poop!
The ideal friend for Pip would've been a comet goldfish like himself, however, that was out of the question. Pip will never reach full size as his growth was stunted for the first 3 years of his life so another comet would quickly outgrow him. Regardless, 80 gallons is not big enough for 2 comets. So Pip's new best friend is this fancy pants oranda who has a wonderful demeanor! I think they're going to get along just fine!
