K now's my turn

Here's pic comparing my ranchu and fantail from 9 months ago container is exactly the same.

[x-Lucy-Fish-x 1]

woah dude!! ..how big are those two now?

[d_golem 2]

Ranchu is only 4 inches max and fantail is about 5-6 inches. I expected them to grow more than that but oh well, maybe they're late bloomers

[x-Lucy-Fish-x 1]

they look much bigger than that!

Panda! Awww he's my FAV lil guy of your's too, I sure wish he would of kept his black. He's still cute though.

Thanks Dells!! I wish Panda woulda kept his black too. Hes still cute!!!

I also just noticed my pics are a bit large.. Hope it wont be a problem. I tried to make 2 different posts but for some reason they got merged together?

Wow, I just went through this entire thread and I'm really impressed! You all have some amazing fish!

[Jeana727 952]

I think black is the color goldies TEASE us with! We see it in the Petstore and say Wow isn't that pretty! We take home the fish, it grows usually the black disappears.......but by then we are way to far in with them to even remember that the color caught our attention in the 1st place!!

Erin, I think u might wanna think about exposing ur fish to sunlight. They all showing some colour-loss, especialy Radish, such a shame his bright red is now orange.

[glitterfish 0]

Hm, that may be difficult Riz, considering I live in an apartment complex with no balcony. How about keeping the tank lights on longer?

[d_golem 2]

How long do u have it on btw?

d_golem,

your fish grows big in 9months..what do you feed them?

btw,

exposing fish to sunlight will reduce the color? i thought it helps them improve their coloration? correct me if i am wrong..

[d_golem 2]

d_golem,

your fish grows big in 9months..what do you feed them?

The fantail grows enormous, but I was expecting more from the ranchu

Feed them the usual lah. Pellets (Tung Hoi, Hikari Lionhead, Sera Goldy Royal, Hikari Wheat Germ), HBH Algae wafer, brine shrimp, Bloodworms, peas, greenwater, and they (unfortunately) also munched on my Java fern and Anubias

btw,

exposing fish to sunlight will reduce the color? i thought it helps them improve their coloration? correct me if i am wrong..

U got it reversed there. I advised Erin to expose her fish to sunlight cos' they seem to experience colour loss

Sunlight will no doubt improve the colouration

[glitterfish 0]

How long do u have it on btw?

Usually 6-8 hours a day the lights are on.

[d_golem 2]

Hmm I got mine 12 hours a day but I think light is not the matter. Goldfish kept inside will sometimes lose the vibrancy of their colours

[glitterfish 0]

Too bad they didnt make tank lights that replica the sunlight. Im going to turn the lights on now!

ok... i FINALLY found an old picture of my pedro from about a year ago... at this point, i had all ready had him for about a year at the time... but he had been in a horribly overstocked 30 gallon... then i got my new tank and he had a pretty dramatic growth spurt!!! now he is the giant of my 60 gallon!!!

before... 5/2005 apprx. 4 inches inc. tail

after... 3/2005 apprx. 7 inches inc. tail

i think it is kinda neat how he looks blue eyed in these pics... unfortuneatly, that is just a camera trick... but i him anyway!!!

[Devs 2]

Wow!!! Pedro is a cutie,and rather large now,isn't he? Nice job!

[Guest Shubunkin Queen]

What a beautiful big guy you have. I think the deep coluring on him looks stunning I bet pedro does really stand out in the tanks.
