Update: 06/01/11
Yesterday, I was at my grandfathers and was admiring his outdoor goldfish pond.
I fed them, and watched them come to the surface and boy, they were big!
I decided that I'd have a little chase around with the net, to see what I could catch. After the first sift through the Anacharis and Water Lilies, I brang up a few baby goldfish! I had no idea that these goldfish were breeding and neither did anyone else, but there must have been hundreds of them, just messing about in the plants!
So I took about 7 home with me. I have purchased another 8G tank to grow them out in. I don't have a filter for it yet, though. They should be fine, as the pond hadn't had a filter or any water movement for months.
I'll move them to my pond when they're old and big enough to avoid being eaten by my other goldfish.
So here are the photos that I'm assuming that you'd like to see..

On the other hand, I moved a few fish around today:
- 4 Harlequin Rasboras from 14G to 25G
- 4 Platys from 14G to 25G
- 5 Albino Corydoras from 25G to 35G
and I have also sold the kribensis who was living in the 25G.
Which has left me with the following stocklists:
14G:
1 Betta
4 Guppies
4 Peppered Corydoras
25G:
2 Zebra Loaches
2 Mollies
4 Harlequin Rasboras
4 Platys
The 25G is going to be turning into a SE Asian Biotope. I am not preparing the 14G for 5 Cherry Barbs to add a few different colors to the tank. I will also be doing a big rescape of the tank, I've already drawn on paper what I plan to do.. I need to get a new piece of driftwood, some vals, crypts and maybe some anubias.
Speaking of rescaping, I will also be changing the substrate in the 25G, adding a (black) background, buying new plants (Crypts, Vals, Java Fern..), getting a light (from the 35g when I get a new one for that tank) and getting a few more Harlequin Rasboras.
I've added the Indian fern that was floating in the 14G to the 25G too.
Here are a few photos of the fish in their new home:

So I hope you've enjoyed reading and looking.. I've spent quite awhile taking photos
See you all next time.. :dance:
