    Nice tanks. I see lots of twinbar platies. My platies always end up too aggressive to keep with goldfish.

    The platys are not real...they are on the background sheet....they would end up as goldfish food otherwise....they look real though eh

    pretty goldfish. My big white and orange spotted koi died 2 nights ago. I miss him! I loved him so much he would swim along the side of the tank and beg for food! so cute! He was the biggest fish I've ever had and he lived for about 4 years. I got him when he was just a tiny little baby and he had grown tremendously!!! He was a sweet guy he even shared a tank with some little goldfish.....

    Gorgeous fish! Its so nice to see goldfish in tanks big enough for them. I'm sick and tired of seeing goldfish cramped in tiny quarters.
    Good job for providing good care for your fishies!

    Yes i know what you mean...these fish are actually rescue fish

    The lady was going to flush them down the toilet as she was sick of caring for them...they were in a 2ft tank that was filthy...far far too small for them...and i found out there was 3 of them in there (each fish is approx 20cm long)....but she flushed one prior to finding me who wanted them

    Poor things freaked when i put them in the big tank...not used to having so much space....but they have settled in nicely...and they are 2 truely beautiful boys....and i am pleased i managed to get them before their fate was sealed

    I had to buy a new 2ft tank....the old one sprung a leak again and i didnt notice as i'd been at the hospital for most of the night and still wasnt feeling to well for most of tnext day. When i got up it was soon obvious the tank had breathed its last

    Unfortunately i lost 2 cories and 3 danios...but managed to get the others into a bucket and hopefully they'll be fine

    So now i have a nice new one....its the standard rectangle shape but is higher than the old one. No background as yet...and needs more plants eventually

    Its half filled with rainwater and half town...so hopefully the PH should be lower...making it less stressful on the new additions that will be picked up in a few weeks
