Here is a picture of my goldfish. He was in my container pond over the winter. He's in a 20 gallon tank right now because I was going to drain the pond and clean it but had some difficulties with it. So hopefully i can clean and fill the container pond tomorrow. The most he'll be in the 20 gallon is about one or two days. Anyway, this gave me the perfect opportunity to take a picture of him. I'm not sure how big he is I think he's 6 inches or more. The one picture was before I put more water in the tank for him.
I took water out of the pond and then added some freshwater to it.
Sorry the pictures aren't that good.

Wow, very nice looking fish! Do you have an ammonia test kit? If he's only going to be in that tank a day or two I wouldn't worry about cycling it, but I'd drop an airstone in there if you have one and check the ammonia every few hours because goldfish produce a ridiculous amount. He looks like he's doing very well.
 
Pretty color!
 
Thanks for saying he looks pretty. Do you know what kind of Goldfish he is?
I think he looks like a regular comet goldfish. I plan on putting him back out in the contanier pond tomorrow after I clean it. I really need to scrub it. It has quite a lot of algae in it. I did fill the 20 gallon tank half way with the pond water and then filled the rest of it with freshwater. Do you think he will be ok if I put him back out in the pond tomorrow afternoon? I don't have an extra airstone unfornately. I do have an extra airpump but I don't have any tubing or airstones.
 
I'll have to post a picture of the pond. It's an 80 gallon contanier pond.
So he has plenty of room.
