Thanks for the welcome!
Nice to see some familiar fish in a much bigger pond.
Here are pictures of some of my tanks:

Oooohhh..I didn't know you keep goldfish! How many goldfish do you keep aside from the three shown in the picture? I'd love to see your orandas if you have some.:dance:
Thanks, guys!!!
Lupin -- we have 14 goldfish total. Right now, we have some in a 55g (keeping it going for a short body flowerhorn when the weather is warmer to ship), some in a 75g (they will be joined by those currently in the 55g), and then three each in 2x 29g's. I know the 29g's are small for three, but they are over filtered and I do 2x week large PWC's. So hopefully that will keep working because I really love having them in our bedroom, since they are so pet like! We have three orandas if I'm counting correct. Most of ours are ryukins (my faves). I will try to get some decent pictures. My fish photo skills are horrible

I don't think keeping 3 fancies in a 29g is all that bad as long as the tank is properly maintained. It's better than stuffing singletail goldies in there. 2-3 would be the max I like to recommend for that tank size.
I'd love to see your orandas. I keep mostly orandas but at the moment, they only comprise nearly half of the number of the goldies I currently have. Here's hoping I might get 5 more new ones and when the new pond is up, I'll focus more on orandas.

That is good to know! We just love the fancy goldfish and yes, I am diligent about the tank maintenance.
The tanks also each have a Penguin 200B (with Bio-Wheels and SuperCartrdige non-disposable bio-media in them) and either a Top Fin 30 or Aqueon 30 (with ReeFresH2O / Cell Pore bio-media). I add carbon once in a while, but have the filters running the large surface bio-media stuff at all times in both filters (each has two). It's working good but when I say "three fancy goldfish in a 29g tank", I feel like I need to do a disclaimer about filtration and 2x a week large PWC's. LOL!!!
It's great to know there are some hard core goldfish enthusiasts here!!!
Thanks again for the warm welcome
