New Fish Soon

[waterfaller1]

My planted 15..not as pretty as some I had with stem plants. I got away from the CO2 though, my fish did not like it.I used to have a couple neat cubes, but after breaking one I kind of felt bad and took down the other.
These were the cubes when they were happy. I really did like them

another nano I had

a nano reef

this was my CO2 tank..The pink plant in here is Ludwigia Pantanal. My absolute favorite.

the reef before I took all the hard corals out..long story. Hopefully some day it will be even better than this

As you see, I love to create. This is my artwork.

Wow Carole! I hope i can have some tanks as pretty as yours someday!!

Love the first fish and the tank. I think goldies are so underappreciated...

 

[Love My Zons]

They are lovely and as we know Goldfish are messy. The tank is gorgeous even with plastic. Can't wait to see them in it

Carole we used to be on the same Planted Tank forum, whether you remember or not I dont know, but we did I remember when you first got your 20 long set up, as well as when you got your dario dario, and the bettas....

I love your cherry setup I used to breed snowballs, LOVED them

Also on the Orandas, I only kept them in the pond in the summer, in the winter I brought them indoor

I love the china doll! I have never seen any of those available around here though. Great goldfish since they stay smaller.

I hope you can sooner than I, remember..I am older than dirt. It takes a lot of dedication to keep those planted tanks going really nice. It's a hobby that men excel in, and outnumber the women. It is harder than keeping saltwater, and takes way more maintenance and patience.

Love the first fish and the tank. I think goldies are so underappreciated...

I think so too, or at least it took me this long to notice them again. In fact, it was a member here that made me intrigued by them.

Thanks, me too.

Yes, I have been there just recently trying to retrain my brain to make the 15 gallon back up to looking good. I finally figured out if you don't fuss over those shrimp they do just fine.I have had my batch of several kinds for quite awhile now.
I have read they are one of the touchier fancies. I hope I can do well by them.

I have never seen them either. I love the long fins and extra high dorsal.

awww such gorgeous goldfish!!! and tanks!!!

Thanks Martine, and thanks everyone for the nice compliments. Wish me luck with these two cuties. I have read that Orandas are like puppies with fins.

Carole your tanks are just gorgeous and you have a real talent for making them look so natural. Have you ever seen pom pom goldfish? I just love them and hpe to have more in the future. I would have to get them from a breeder as they are hard to fine.

 

[waterfaller1]

Hi Judy, thank you so much. The breeder Steve at Raingarden in HI has the pom pom variety. Mine are on the way for arrival today!. I couldn't sleep.

 

[Greycloud]

That is so exciting! Let us know when they arrive.

 

[waterfaller1]

Thanks again. I did something smart this morning. I called fed-ex, they were open 24 hrs..who knew? They are going to hold my package for pick up, and the facility is right near my home. So at 9 a.m. I will be there to get them. Much less stress than worrying about them being on a hot truck all day.

 

[waterfaller1]

They are alive and the bags are floating!!
Biggest box and biggest two bags I have ever seen for fish.

 

[GG.]

The are really pretty!

 

[Emmilyy]

Oh they look great in that tank! How large will they be when full grown?

 

[waterfaller1]

The little one can grow to 4-5", the bigger one 6-8". I will eventually have to upgrade, but for now this will do. They are awesome..I am so happy they made it ok.
Thank you
