Any Goldfish lovers?

[therue]

Got really interested in Fancy Goldfish (Oranda) all of a sudden, and while I was looking around on the internet,I came across a few videos that literally took my breath away

@ 1:57 mark (the first red oranda and the 2 black orandas)

i love goldies, i have 17 comets of varying types in my 70gal temporarily until i get the large tank outside, they follow me around the tank and look great.

haha i know right?

By the way, does anyone know any good books on Fancy Goldfish they would recommend? There are quite a lot of materials on Goldfish obviously, but I was just wondering if there are any that are consider the bible when it comes to serious goldfish enthusiasts.

In addition, what are some of the more active and knowledgeable goldfish forums aside from this one of course

I remember rafflesgold was a wealth of knowledge a long time ago, but the site seemed to have died. have its members migrated to some other goldfish forums?

ya, a pond or something like this would be a pretty sweet setup:

As for me, living in Taiwan now means I'm living in an apartment, so the most I can do is probably have 1 or 2 of these plastic tubs on the balcony as a grow-out tank (and maybe a decent size tank indoor.)

However, the good thing of being in Taiwan is that there seems to be pretty good goldfish farms here with a large selection of fish to choose from and sellers with high quality goldfish from China, Japan, Thailand, etc. ^_^

Beautiful show fish! I wonder what they think of the attention? They probably know that people are around, but they don't look stressed. Except for a couple of the ones that looked like they ran into a wall at 70mph.

I have a pond with comets and koi. I also have a lionhead and a side view ranchu.
