Thread: Fishies!!!

  1. #1

    Fishies!!!

    Hey introducing my other pets that i look after all the time is my cold water fishies, i have 4 fishies. they're names are Sarasa, happy kisses, pumpkin and black eye down!!

    the first one that you see here is Happy kisses, little fat fish!


    this one's name is Sarasa, i need a bigger tank for him or her soon! s/he keeps growing!


    Here is all of them eating going after the same thing! lol! they couldn't go to the rest spread out over the tank loL!


    and...Sarasha, she's a japanese comet. She was the most beautiful fish when i first seen her and i just had to have her.


    need one where you can see pumpkin and black eye down. black eye down is the smallest fish! pumpkin is the ordinary comet i got both of these fish from my pond, i now have normal comets and shebuncian's in the pond.


    anyway those are my fishies, later on i plan on buying my best friends tank from her when she gets a bigger one, and i'm selling my small 10 gal to my half sister! i can't wait to see my fish in that big tank, they'll be soo happy!

    lol I don't blame ya, a 30 gallon would be such a perfect size for your fishes, specially Sarasha! Wouldn't let be awesome if she got as big as Queen?! Anyways, those are very great pics you got, I get jealous of your wonderful camera lol I want to get one like that someday, but not anytime soon unfortunately. Keep taking more pics, I can't wait to see more of Sarasha! She's so pretty.

    A 55 to 75 gallon would be more appropriate for those 4 fish alone. The obvious veins in the fins of the comet are a major sign of stress.

    My Queen has some veins showing in her tail too and I've asked fish experts about it, they said it was because she is such a big fish that you can see the veins in her tail because her tail is so big, not becuase of stress...she's been in my 30 gallon for 2 years and now she is over a foot long, don't worry I plan on getting a 60 to 70 gallon for her this spring, but if a fish would get that stressed over the space they have then I don't think the fish would grow as big as it did, fish know their limit, they grow to the size of their space, and my fish is still growing. That Sarasha comet is still a very small small fish and would do fine with a 30 gallon for now. I"m sorry but I"m just stating my opinion.

    Fish don't grow to their space, they become stunted from poor water quality in a small space. Just like if you stuck a great dane puppy in a small kennel its body wouldn't stop growing because of the small space, but it might not grow to full potential on a poor diet. I'm not concerned about size either. Fish release ammonia through normal gill function and digestion and goldfish have a large bioload. A big tank is best to keep water conditions close to ideal. And there is a difference between normal veins you can see and those enlarged by stress. I recently treated a fantail for stress and the veining is no longer visible.

    I didn't ask for anyone to object about my fish if i wanted oppinions about what size tank i get i would ask, i can only get what i can afford, i appreciate your knowlege and letting me know what size is best, but my fish are happy and healthy i don't need to be a genious to know that! I learned alot of my fish knowlege from kalei, and over the years that i had fish, i know when they're happy and unhappy, so please i don't want no more people saying what size tank and all that i should have, yet again i get what i can afford, and can't get more. i have lots of animals that i look after and have to have a bit of knowlege of everything, i don't have too many though and i don't intend on geting rid of any. I appreciate the kind coments thank you.





    ...ps thank you very much kalei! Comet is a very happy fish, all the time.
