kathyt 24 Posted April 30, 2013 I've not been around here for ages and there's been lot's of changes. (goldfish wise) A few months ago I responded to a craigslist ad for 3 fancy goldfish. You can't imagine my surprise when I saw them. They were huge. Biggest I've seen. But living in not very good conditions. They were in a huge 150 gallon tank, which was good, but it was so dirty, you could hardly see the fish. And there was a pleco that was at the very least, 18 inches long living with them. The seller said he had the tank and the goldies for only 2 months, so I guess their original owner is the one to be commended for their size and good health. To make a long story short, my son helped me get them home and they've been here for 3 months now. Other than some of their fins being in bad shape, they've been doing really well. They are so friendly, eating out of my hands from the beginning. The black one has an odd looking mouth, but it seems to just be the pigmentation. Oh, the little orange goldie, is a 35$ Petsmart fish so you kind of get an idea on these others sizes. Anyway, enough talking and on with the show 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4prettyfish 2,702 Posted April 30, 2013 That is amazing. You were able to buy those gigantic fish and 150g tank! I love the black one. I wish it were in my tank. All four of the fish are adorable. I have a $35. Petsmart fish and Wow what a difference in size. How much of an upgrade did you make from your previous tank? The tank looks so fresh and clean. Congrats on both. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kathyt 24 Posted April 30, 2013 I cannot believe the beautiful fish found. The black is fabulous! Thank you so much. He was actually so large it was a bit off putting at first, he was a bit of a monster. but I've gotten used to him. And love him. LOL! Oh goodness are they beautiful! I am absolutely in love with the white and orange telescope! I never had been a lover of tele's but am now quite a fan. Thank you! That is amazing. You were able to buy those gigantic fish and 150g tank! I love the black one. Thanks so much! He wasn't selling the tank, just the goldies. They're in my 75g and seem happy. Of course, there will be no more fish, these are at full capacity. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
