Thanks Bishop...it so caught my eye I had to bring it home. It's sharing a 20long at the moment, with a shubunkin that will be going into a large pond come spring. I have plans to turn my 50 reef into a goldie tank when I find a 75 to move the two reefs into. It'll be fine in the 20long till then.
I'll be peeking at the goldfish tanks in the lfs till I find a partner for this one after the shubunkin goes. I better not look till it does though...lol. I don't think 3 medium sized fancies in a 20long is a good idea....already doing 50% changes a week in that tank as it is. (Do orandas come in calico ? That has got to be my favorite color for goldies...)
I'd like to find something like this one here......I saw one similar at the lfs recently, but not having a place for it kept me from bringing it home....bummer ! BTW...I did NOT take this pic...found it online searching for orandas...
BTW.... kyryah....beauttiful tank !! What size is that ?

Thanks Emg 
I thought for a long time that it was an 80 gal, I have a bad habit of just kind of guessing what size a tank is, lol. Usually I am right but this time I was off, when I finally decided to measure and convert, it is a 100 gal. I am stocked a bit heavy, I am aware of this, lol, but I change my water a LOT (2-3X a week) have a ton of filtration, and everybody is growing and acting great. I have two tanks that I am resealing, a 55 gallon and a 50 gallon. My baby goldies are moving into the 55 and my three demekins out of the 100 gal are moving into the 50. That will leave 5 fish in the 100 gal. Come spring, we are building an addition onto the house, and one of the two rooms will be my fish room Then I will be setting up my 150 gal that is currently just sitting there, unused, waiting for goldies to live in it
Yes there are calico orandas. I haven't seen many, but I have seen a few and they are gorgeous.
