New Fish Soon

[waterfaller1]

These are the 2 fish I will be getting from Steve at Raingarden in HI soon. He has graciously said I can use his pics.

China Doll

Oranda

Oooh! I like the second fish the best.

 

[waterfaller1]

Thank you. I would have chosen two Oranda, but they get quite large. The china doll stays on the smaller side. He most likely will not retain much of that black, but it's ok..I just wanted the Oranda to have a buddy.

Wow, they're beautiful!

Very nice fish!!

 

[waterfaller1]

Thank you Haley & Miriam.
This will be their tank~{much prefer live plants, but these guys eat them for the most part} Sorry about the reflection of my reef. The white thing is a pad from my other tank that is seeding this one with bacteria.

I like the China doll

the tank set up is very pretty. How many gallons? I would like to have a couple goldfish in a nice big tank, but you have to clean their tanks more regularly than other fish, right?

 

[waterfaller1]

Thank you Emily. Yes, high flow and keep it clean. Hence the mostly bare bottom. It will make it simple to push everything around to clean it. It's supposed to resemble a pond in the middle. I am really not crazy about the fake plants, but I guess it will grow on me. It's a 29 gal. For now it will work. Will most likely have to upgrade eventually.

 

[Emmilyy]

You're giving me ideas! I have a 29 here that is just sitting with nothing in it. I'd have to buy new filters and everything, though..

I would love to see all of your tanks do you keep any salt?

 

[Janie]

Beautiful. We just started goldfish in a 55 gallon tank. I really wish I had seen your setup before, I love the bare bottom and it will be much easier than vacuuming the gravel.

wow I love it, I love to watch fish in a tank, peaceful

[Greycloud]

Gorgeous goldfish!!! I love them. I use to raise pom pom goldfish. Your tank is great!

 

[BraveheartDogs]

They are very pretty. Are they being shipped to you? How do they go about shipping fish?

 

[Birdiemarie]

Both are beautiful! Why will the first one not keep it's black? Age?

 

[Blazeybird]

Carole we need new pics of all your amazing tanks! You have some of the most beautiful planted tanks I have ever seen .

Congrats on the new goldies, I LOVE Orandas, had a few in my pond back home in TN

Thanks. I do keep a 90 gal reef, and have a 15 gallon planted tank. I know..about the substrate...looking on youtube actually gave me ideas. I am really going to like that part. It is the bane of most GF tanks I believe, since they put out so much waste.

Oh wow..missed a whole page of posts.. hold onlol:

Thanks to both of you.

Same as any store would get fish. They are overnight on a plane in a styrofoam cooler in a box. They will begin to fast the fish before shipping to lessen the amount of ammonia in the bags. Thank you.

Both are beautiful! Why will the first one not keep it's black? Age?

Black is an unstable color in goldfish. She could turn all orange, or stay an orange body with black fins. Time will tell. Thank you.

That is cool they can be in a pond, they are very pretty from above. I only have two other tanks, one planted, one reef. I have a new pic of the planted I can post. The reef is in the re-prettying stage. Thank you.

Gorgeous new fish. And love the tank set up, can't wait to see it with the fish in it.

Thanks..me too..I am pretty excited. Haven't had goldies since I was a kid winning them with ping pong balls at the fair.
