Siamese Doll

[Lupin]

Here's Cash, my Siamese doll. Just thought I'd post pics of my latest goldfish this time. He's under quarantine until now and I'm anticipating another Siamese doll. Unlike the regular telescopes that grow to 10-12 inches, Siamese dolls remain only at 5" mark and under. They're seldom available until now unless you are lucky to find these in your petstores.

Pic taken the day I bought him. Red streaks on the fins show he was weakened a bit but was the healthiest I could find.

More recent shots. I took them posthaste so I didn't bother cleaning up the diatoms quickly. He fattened a bit since I bought him.

wow, thats nice albino goldfish you have. From what I heard that the albino goldfish are not common.

Turns out Cash is a girl. She fattened up and her vent became more pronounced that I saw a nub protruding indicating she is a girl, not a boy as I had wrongly suspected.

I've not seen albinos pretty much so I got lucky to get this one. I just cna't buy any more of these from the petshop as they were really sick and I don't want to risk going through the situation especially as they're expensive. I compensated this for having a male doll shipped from someone who was able to raise it and then eventually wanted to sell it. Luckily, I also frequent the local forum regularly and immediately had it reserved. Should arrive this week I hope. He's about 5" apparently.
