Palligretar 36 Posted May 27, 2013 So this appears in my youtube recommended videos (I think they are on to my new interest) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0l8NYPEp2s I think this is a good demonstration of 2 things: - Goldfish get big and need space. That was a 2.5 gallon tank as he points out in the description. Most people would consider this "enough" for a goldfish - Fish don't get nearly enough credit as pets. I mean that Ranchu was super chill with him picking him up. No struggling or anything. Just wanted to share this with you guys who may not have seen it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaylaj2355 464 Posted May 27, 2013 This is my go-to video when people tell me that goldfish don't get very big One of my favorites! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anastasiam 135 Posted May 27, 2013 Rofl why am I not surprised that a fish that enormous is a kokos fish? Gosh she's beautiful! I hope my babies will get that big... I have a feeling that she's a pond fish though. Can anyone confirm my hypothesis? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodoba 2,980 Posted May 27, 2013 Nope it's a tank fish. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palligretar 36 Posted May 27, 2013 Yup. According to the video description she lives in a 35 gallon tank. I would assume alone. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodoba 2,980 Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) No there are two other tank mates but I believe he upgraded his tank since that video Edit: http://www.kokosgoldfish.invisionzone.com/forum/index.php?/topic/88097-mostly-istvan-pics/ This is the last thread of his I believe.

tithra 4,917 Posted May 27, 2013 I believe Tinko has since passed on? don't quote me on that, but I remember reading/seeing that somewhere awhile back. Absolutely stunning fish though 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yafashelli 9,540 Posted May 27, 2013 We love Tinko! One of our long time members should give him a PM, and see what he's up to! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellbell4ever 1,381 Posted May 28, 2013 I believe Tithra is right, he had moved and the new water caused problems with his fish he lost them sadly But he sure was a big cutie 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evening 102 Posted May 28, 2013 Absolutely true story: Tinko was what got me into goldfish. When I saw that video I immediately knew I had to have one, and I started saving my money for my first tank. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
