Hi,

Just wondering if there is other Goldfish lover on here. I know that they are very common and that they are quite dirty and not that much good looking. I am not a huge fan but i love those. I have one fancy goldfish (oranda) in a tank on my dresser so i can watch it while in bed.

They get to an important size and their way of swiming is so relaxing compared to other fish. It's very peaceful. I like them better than betta because they at least get to a decent size and swim way more than a betta.

I never knew that goldfish did not exist in the wild and were a hybrid just like blood parrot. All i knew is that it came from China.

Aside from that i keep freshwater sharks my favorite kind of fish irridescent sharks along with a pleco and 2 silver dollars to be exact i am looking in buying them a bigger home right now.
 
I love my goldfish! They have a lot of personality and live a long time. I keep mine at 77 degrees, mixed with tropicals. "They" say that it is a bad idea, but I've done it for 25 years. Right now I have 4 Orandas, a Lionhead, and a Black Moor in my 135 along with tetras, plecos, rainbowfish and an 8" Pseudodora niger.

Lol!! Gosh those guys are ugly. Sorry. Gotta love em.
I like goldfish. I like to go to the feeder fish section and pick out pretty ones with long tails (orange and white) and put them in my ponds. I also will gift them to people with small ponds that won't accomodate koi.
 
Goldfish were my first fish, and they still are my favourite by far!

I've got 4 black moors, 1 calico fantail, 1 lionhead, and 1 7" calico ranchu.

I love them :)
 
I am another 'goldie lover'.....and those are 2 beautiful goldies....I have 2 Commons, 1 Fancy and 1 Shubukin in my pond.......I know most folks think they're messy and dumb but...I have found that they have tremendous personalities....I love to interact with them and I hand feed ALL of my fish.
