Yesterday was April 15th and I added all of my goldfish into my above ground pond yesterday. Boy does that feel great... The pond now consists of....
One Red and White Ryukin about 6 inches
One Whitish Calico fantail
one longer dark red calico fantain
5 babies from the fish above. Probably the two callicos
4 of the babies are mainly gold calico
1 is all black.
These fish were all in my 29 gallon at work since December. So about 4 months of the year... Here's the best part. The few goldfish I left in the pond over the winter were bigger!
Gold fish wintering in Kentucky is a great testament to their hardiness, another reason to love them.
I also added 3 hand selected fancy goldfish (ok, so I always hand select, but these ones are sweet) that I have been keeping in my 125 with two angels,6 diamond tetras and 3 cory cats.
The goldfish in the 125 were doing a great job of eating the Algae I have.
Well they are all together now and are patrolling all over the pond slowly grazing.
Life is good. Glad to have them outside again.

HI Dustin, We are trying find a home for an 8 inch gold fish. Our daughter received as a 23 cent tiny gold fish 5 years ago. Many tanks later he is now in a 40 gallon tank. We are having to move suddenly and can't take him with us this time due to his size. We will be in temporary housing and you can't take a 40 gallon tank into a hotel.
ReplyDeleteWould you be interested in taking him. If you are email me at Rubino704@aol.com. My name is Paul Rubino and we live in London KY. We will bring him to you if you can give him a good home.
Thanks, Paul
