Cheemo - Ryukin Goldfish

EDIT: I moved Cheemo to a MUCH larger tank shortly after this video was taken. I never wanted him in such a small tank as this but I had to buy a starter kit for him until I found another. Oh, and he's an Extra Large Red Fantail, not a Ryukin.

Cheemo, my new Ryukin Goldfish.
He is quite large (biggest one in the tank at the petstore) and fat. Although he is big, they can grow up to 8 inches long!

He is housed right now in a 10Lt tank (about 2.5 gallons) which is quite small for him. I plan on buying at least a 10 gallon tank soon, not only so he has more room, but so i can fit a few other fish in there too!

He's very active, very mouthy, and enjoys the left side of his tank. He also likes to eat the gravel at the bottom. :D

Bought on August 16, 2008.

Don't worry, I moved him to a much larger tank shortly after. :)

I was aware that tank was too small.

that's definitely a ryukin cuz of the arched back. n where's the video of his new tank ...mmmhmmm... lol

that is a ryukin they are also called fan tails, and by the look of it he is high quality because of how large his lump is on his back. i have a few of these and they have started to breed *yay* i have eggs....but they ate a few of them :(

hes "hyperactive" because the tank is so damn small, 2.5gallon is torture for a fish that big you moron. get at least a 20 gallon tank for that one fish
