Regular Member Lozbug Posted October 12, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2005 fantail... mine has been thru lot's and she's still going strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Happy Oranda Posted October 12, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2005 I would say oranda. They swim fast, eat like pigs and grow as fast as weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jeana727 Posted October 12, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2005 I would suggest an ORANDA!! They are all around great fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member coyote ugly Posted October 12, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2005 orandas are pretty hardy as well as ryukins Orandas are one of my fave though!Just can't resists those chubby little cheeks Good luck and please post pics when you get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member d_golem Posted October 12, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2005 Ranchu ranchu ranchu!! The power of a bulldog coupled with the maximum cuteness of an pomeranian!! or something of that sort....hehehe ranchu is my fave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted October 13, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'd have to say fantail. My fantail is like a cat--9 lives. She has survived 2 1/2 years in a bowl *gasp*, cycling my new tank (since the lfs said I could put her in after 24 hrs) and getting stuck in a tank ornament that we had to cut in order to get her out. She's quite a fish and I'd have to say quite hardy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member maries Posted October 13, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yay I went with the oranda, this one is all orange, about 3 inches all together or so...they had a good selection at vvvv, all diff kinds, usually I don't see that many. Will take a pic once he/she is settled,, is in qt right now, still a little scared of me, but is a cutie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member maries Posted October 15, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2005 Yes, still pondering over a name.. Pumpkin is a good one! (don't worry I won't steal it ) I'm thinking maybe something to go with Halloween though since she's (a she at least for now =x) orange and got her in Oct.
