Regular Member Bella_Butterfly Posted July 4, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 4, 2005 I went goldie shopping all over the Big Apple today. I bought 4 new fish to go with my little collection I found a demekin (Reesee), a pearlscale (buttercup), a common (Sakana), and a chocolate coloured fantail (Cocoa). Once I can get this camera up and running I'll post some pics. In the past month, quite a few of my fish passed away, and I still continue to mourn their death But, life must go on My newbies are currently swimming in my 60 gallon quarentine tanks to rid them of anything they might have that could be harmful to the others in the main fish tank. Im soo excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BigRedandBlindWillie Posted July 4, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 4, 2005 I know how hard it is to loose fish.. and then what its like to get new fish shortly after. When I lost MR. Orange, I swore I would never get another goldfish again, but somehow Ryan talked me into a week later.. I found this cute Ryukin... and now my tank is full of goldies again. I still look into the tank, and wonder what Mr. orange would look like, how big he would be, and how happy he would be.. But just as you said, life goes on. Your fishies had a wonderful life with you! And now your 4 new goldies will have a wonderful life with you! Congrats on the new fish, and I wish you many years with your goldies!!!! I cant wait to see pictures. They sound adorable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest waheeda Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hi, according to Koko's goldfish types it is a cross between a ryukin and a telescope. All I know it that I want one and we don't get them here much...SO CUTE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
