Regular Member claire_uk Posted February 15, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2007 my aunty visited today and brought with her a red and white oranda that she could no longer keep in her tank as she has gotten too big. im hoping she will grow big, as i know my aunty's tank is only small. im calling her a she as my 'in season' shubunkin has been chasing her around, or he is just stating his territory, but it seems to have calmed down a bit now. other than that she seems to have settled in fine, has been eating today and swimming about fine. on the way here i think she has broken a fin, as shown in one of the pics, but other than that looks healthy and pretty! havent got a name yet though, so any suggestions are welcome.

Regular Member claire_uk Posted February 15, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2007 yer, shes ok for now, and i am hoping to put the shubunkin in one of three ponds that i have available to me as i think he is getting a bit too boistrous in the tank now, i know it isnt his fault though, he is a guy!! yer she is a looker, maybe that is why he is hitting on her so soon, poor ryukin has been dumped!! i love the mix of red and white on her, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member claire_uk Posted February 15, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2007 which little one?? the new one, erm im not sure how small, havent got a ruler to measure, the others are pretty big, so she probs looks quite small. yes it was nice of her, but i think she is better in a bigger tank, more room to grow, and my guys and gals are great so she will be okay. anyway guys any names?!!! i have run out of inspiration naming fish l8ly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
