Prepare to be viciously attacked by the mass cuteness that is all my 10 goldfish!! >=D


The little comet I bought half black from the PetSmart feeder tank.

User Image



Feebas, my second largest. Got from the fair August of 2011 along with Seeking, coming later. Not sure on gender, but I just say "he" lol

User Image

This is Spotty Fish, purchased from the lfs a few months ago. I think it's a female, judging by the gut she's usually got lol

User Image

User Image



This is Scrat, another Fair baby, gotten in December of 2011. He's (she?) got a bit of a hump going lol

User Image

User Image



And my favorite, and largest, at about 8 inches, Seeking. Confirmed male, as I saw some fading breeding stars on him this afternoon =)

And Gimpy Fish, the lfs pitty purchas, because that face was too darn cute lol Gets long fine with the big guys, and has no swimming disadvantages. Just doesn't seem to growing as fast as he could be. Hes always one of the first to the food though, so what ever =)

Seeking and Gimpy together =)

I had an all white comet, from the lfs at the same time as Spotty Fish, but I had a pump mishap, and the sponge fell off and he got stuck to the pump o.o I was so bummed, as I really loved him =( I've ordered a new pump, with no stupid sponge, so that should never happen again!


And the fancies! Two orandas (Brain and Magneto), a Ryukin (Swimmy) and a Black Moor (Luna).

Luna, with that gorgeous tail *swoon*

User Image



Magneto, with a bit of blue left. He's becoming quite the manly ladies man lol

User Image



And Swimmy McNibblekins, who gets fatter every time I look at her lol

User Image



And for good measure, my Goldspot Sailfin Pleco, because she's cute :3

User Image


And Brain. Finally managed to catch the little brat. Only took me draining the whole pond (for a thorough cleaning) to do so lol

He's not the prettiest fish, but I love him anyways lol

He's not bad from above lol

Thank you! The commons and comets are in a 150 gallon pond, and the fancies are in a 65 gallon pond. They grow fast if you do it right lol Growing season is coming to an end, though, and soon it'll be too cold to feed them. It'll be pretty interesting when it gets to that point lol No water changes, no feeding, no activity under the surface, no cute little faces saying "love us, mommy!" LOL


Don't you just love Magneto?? His blue was much more striking just a week ago. He's always changing colors. It's so weird... Lol

It probably has more to do with the seasons changing (as much as they can change in Florida LOL) and the different foods available to them in the pond. I don't always feed them, since they can easily eat bugs and algae and stuff in the pond lol

The mollies. The female doesn't look preggers, so I'll go out on a limb and say the male isn't able to breed due to his enlarged gondopodium. This is often an issue with male Lyretails.

User Image



Spotty Fish, Gimpy Fish, and the one that used to be black. I love how Spotty Fish has asymmetrical coloring =)

Gosh they're so pretty!!

I wish we could do a pond here but all the wild cats and dogs (and raccoons and opossums, oh my!) I'd just worry myself to death.

Thanks!

There are plenty of ways to make a pond fish safe in a wildlife populated area. Making the pond several feet deep, making an over hang of slate around the edge, using weighed down milk crates for the fish to hide in, lots of plant cover, making a net to go over the pond when you aren't out side... All kinds of stuff! smile
