Supporter FishyMandy Posted August 7, 2014 Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2014 For the first time in over three years, I can say, I've got a new fish! At $110 she is the most expensive fish I've ever owned, or even considered buying! (Hoping my mum doesn't ask how much I paid for her when she gets home, if she does I'll say $200 so when she finds how how much she really was it doesn't seem so bad ) It was VERY Hard to decide which one of these lovelies to bring home, They ALL had that "pick me pick me" face. Frenchie (Name subject to change) Is a beautiful calico oranda, A fish I've wanted for a long time! She is my first ever Oranda and will certainly add some colour when she comes into my main tank. We drove for an hour to the shop to buy her, I've been wanting to go to this store for a very long time but knew I wouldn't leave empty handed so waited until I knew I had room for another fish. Without further ado (because you've probably skipped all this blahblah to see pictures anyway ) Here she is! In the bag on the way home Floating in the QT Tank Finally out of the bag! And as a bonus, a few phone shots of other fish at the store, I really wanted one of the pandas, but decided on one new fish at a time. (I love the orange and black bubble eye hiding in the back!) (Their tanks were turned on the sides, so we were looking down the length of them, so they aren't real tiny like they look ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Fish Of Gold Posted August 7, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 7, 2014 Oh I love the new fish! I like how she has an orange "Cheek" Frenchie is a cute name. The first name that came to mind as soon as I saw her was "China Doll" for some reason. And how I love several of the other fish in the store! Gimmie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
