Isn't this a discussion forum? He asked opinions on fancy goldies, wondering, much like myself, what the allure is to their strangeness.

I know you love them, maybe that is what clouds your views on them.

I admit being uneducated about them, but I can read a novel from you about how to care for them and how special they are, you're not gonna convince me

I think the extent of how fat they are and how they move is unnatural and a little cruel. it would be like breeding pigs to have chicken legs.

sure they may live long lives, be well cared for, but it doesn't make it right

I dont think red is tryong to change anyones mind but seriously i do see all the confusion.
It wouldnt it be fair for redear to question why you/me like the fish we like ?
Cuz we just do

Same could be said for veil tail oscars some people like em some dont

I'm not trying to convince you. But you must understand the video you posted and comment you made was, well, in a word uneducated, as you described your knowledge of Fancy Goldfish.

If you don't know what you are doing with fancy goldfish you'll have sick fish that float or sink. But its worth it in the end.

And my view is far from clouded. They are expert level fish. and even then you better have a handle on everything all the time, or a pond.

yes you are. you openly support and recommend these types of fish and encourage keepers to get into them.

yes your views are clouded by your passion for them.

but go ahead and do whatever you feel passionate about. just don't try to convince others otherwise if they feel it isn't right. that's all I'm saying

I think it's perfectly fair to question you guys. veil tailed Oscars is different. that's not what i'm saying. breed for fins, colors, whatever,.....but these fat goldfishes is not those things. they are too unnaturally fat

I won't argue with you, but i will correct misinformation. Are they fat? Yes, but you must not confuse fat with disease.

But again shall we agree to disagree?
