The way Alessandra looks, she looks nearly a watonai than a fantail. Gone are the days when she was round with eggs and she is now sexier.:D Her color changed from yellow to deep orange too which my photos don't do her current colors justice.:footinmouth:

I am introducing Mirage and Starla for the first time. I may be mistaken with Mirage as a shub as her finnage looks a lot like a comet despite her bulky appearance, possibly full of eggs maybe. She is the full white colored goldy. Starla is the male orange comet.

The rest are just new photos of my gang.:)

Gone are the days when Summers used to be fully black. He shed it with a more chocolate color and the rest look like they gained more bulk.

And some more photos...

I forgot to add Loco, my black ranchu now graduated to the 75g. No photos of him yet. He cowered in fear when the goldies run into him to acknowledge him. It was Moby who actually instilled confidence in him that he is safe with them.:hypnotized: He looked so miniscule compared to the other goldies.

That's where I'll be getting my pond fish from (if I get to set up a pond)... I figured the pond (125g, $30!) would help me run my fish rescue :idea: I may also be getting a 55 or 75 gallon tank for $50 for that too, but I'm not sure yet :rolleyes:

breeding stars?
Any pics?



It can be mistaken for ich so be very careful when you analyze the situation. I know a few people who treated their fish for ich for nothing thinking the breeding stars (white pimples/tubercles on the gill cover) is ich. Ich usually starts at the fins and spread gradually to the body. Breeding stars simply appear on gill covers and front pectoral fins.
