This is Napoleon. He started the madness. I won him at a local fair two years ago. He was under 1 inch then. Now he's 10 inches. He survived the goldfish bowl, major illnesses, and now he's got a nice big house.

Upstart came home from the LFS with a friend, Rascal. Rascal didn't make if too long. She's grown almost 8 inches in about a year and a half, and gone from mostly orange to pure white.

Morris, a 3" baby fancy. A petsmart rescue. When I got him, I was sure I would have to find a new home for him, since I have swift swimmers and he's just a little round guy. However, he's been holding his own. Rock on, little dude.

You should post those males in a thread as those pics are PERFECT Sexing pics to show those that would like to SEX :D the goldfish :D Awesome!!
 
Oh!! And Welcome!! :D
 
Nice looking goldfish you have. That white one is pretty cool looking. I have a feeder gold fish that went from about 3/4" to 8" in a year. Probably the most active fish in the tank, pretty fun to watch.
 
I love goldfish. A true classic aquarium fish.

Welcome to the site!
 
Never thought I would like goldfish....but they seem to be growing on me.

How old are you?
 
great fish and great shots!
The only problem I see in all of those pictures is the Canon strap around the boyfriend-fish's neck

/Nikon fanboy:)
 
Haha, thanks everyone! I was afraid my monsters are too cute to hang with the pacus and GATFs.... :D

And we're all canon for the digital work... but I still have my old Nikon FM! It just won't die. :headbang2
