Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / November 2005Goldfish addiction......
I did it again. I went to PetsMart today for nothing more than freeze dried bloodworms and daphnia. They had just gotten in a new shipment of goldfish last Friday. I came home with 2 more pearlscales, 2 black moors and 2 calico telescope eyes I swore I would never buy again. It's an addiction.... I can't fight it.... I love goldfish....

Besides our two koi ponds (800 and 2000 gallons) we have an in-ground 150 gallon goldfish pond. It has a waterfall and houses several rosy reds and Shubunkin goldfish. I also have an assortment of 150g goldfish above-ground pools behind the house. These kiddy pools from Wally World can be set up and ready to go for less than $30 each. :-))) Since I spend a lot of time outdoors in warm weather I get a lot of enjoyment from breeding Shubunkins and rearing the fry.

I haven't had fantails in at least 3 years.

But there's nothing like a tank of colorful mixed goldfish. And if well cared for and healthy, they're long lived. Koi-Lo.... frugal ponding since 1995...

We [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Larry > Carmichael/Sacramento Messy, true. :) I only have pond goldfish, ordinary golds + comets + shubunkin. If I get too many, I'll donate the excess to my local fish store. Sometimes they even give me store credit but I don't ask. I just want the fish to have a chance at a good home since I refuse to expand further! Gail near San Antonio TX |
