Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted June 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 So, these three seem to be getting along very well after a couple of months together. The two new boys up front (Mikado and Tatsu) are always moving But notice how my wise old girl, Maruko is stealthily eating all of the food behind their backs Buttercup, the Pleco also makes a few cameos http://vid1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj600/jmetzger72/Goldfish/20150602_193936.mp4 They keep moving my sand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper Arctic Mama Posted June 3, 2015 Helper Share Posted June 3, 2015 Haha! She's pretty smart. The boys are beautiful swimmers and enormous - how much are these amigos weighing in these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't weighed them recently, but last time: Maruko = 240g Tatsu = 117g Mikado = Never weighed, but probably somewhere between the other two fish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member RanchuDressing Posted June 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 Ooooh, that's the r/w oranda you get a few months ago, right? Simply stunning! I would not have been able to pass that one up either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it's only a 55 and I don't have room for a 75 (width) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 Love just love it Thanks I need to get some more Anubias runners attached to that piece of wood on the left. I keep taking cuttings from the others, but Anubias grows so slowy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep taking cuttings from the others, but Anubias grows so slowy!You'd grow old waiting for the anubias! That stuff takes forEVer.I just got a mother plant of the nana species along with five decent sized cuttings. They were very affordable from this joint, and I cannot praise Heather's plants highly enough - nice size, good price, shipped safe and sound. They did have some snails hitch along, but that's nothing a little pp can't handle: http://shop.plantedaquariumscentral.com ETA: AHH! Apparently Heather had a family emergency and closed the store for the time being. Bummer! Edited June 3, 2015 by Arctic Mama 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ree Posted June 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 Jared, you must be a very proud fishy Daddy! They are stunning! I have a black moor and a pearlscale, and I cant decide on either completing with an oranda or a ranchu.... you have just made that decision even more difficult.... I want them BOTH now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hellofishy Posted June 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 Gorgeus tank and fish. That oranda... Wow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jenzaar Posted June 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 Definitely one of my favorite tanks [emoji813] When we got the 125 i tried for the silver background, but was shot down. My husband loved yours too but 1) it would be a shoddy recreation, and 2) probably would not go well with the room. And maybe cause stealing is bad, yours should be the only one so awesome They look fantastic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either would be nice. I just recommend getting one who's color contrasts with the two fish you already have. The variety of colors makes it for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
