Regular Member goldfishgirl82 Posted March 9, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2015 I went to the San Diego koi show today expecting only to look at awesome koi and vendors for fish supplies, but much to my surprise Goldfishnet had a booth there and many awesome goldfish for sale. I've only ever seen these fish in photos for the online auction before, so seeing them up close was a cool experience. And of course, I fell in love. I only had enough money and tank space to take one home though. So here he is (and it's definitely a he because I see breeding stars), my new kirin telescope. I have not given him a name yet, because I like to get to know a fish's personality a bit before deciding on a name. That will come soon though. This guy has some definite personality. These pics were taken in my small quarantine tank, but I will take more once I move him into the 72 bow front I just set up, which will also be a kind of QT since everything in it will be new at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member goldfishgirl82 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks everyone! He seems to be doing well this morning. Going into the bigger tank today once I double check the water parameters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member goldfishgirl82 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2015 It looks like this guy now has a name. My boyfriend and I started calling him Goofball because of his silly behavior, and it seems to have stuck. So, Goofball it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
