I love that kind of Goldfish :). I hope to start having Goldfish someday, I wish your fish good luck and a long life

@Lionelridge Thank you so much! Give your future fish lots of space (at least 10 gallons per fish) and clean water, and they will reward you with great health and lots of personality :)

[Lionelridge]

@greyanemone Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to have one, I am already planning to have a Goldfish aquarium with some fancy kinds. Can you give me the names of the kind fish you have in your tank? Thank you

[greyanemone]

@Lionelridge Sure - the grey one is a "blue oranda", the two with bumpy scales are called "pearlscales", and the one with the high back and red and white coloring is called a "ryukin." These are all fish that need to be kept in clean water with lots of space so they can achieve their natural size and their nice large fins.

How much were your goldfish>?

[greyanemone]

@speedyfish123 Sorry I never responded to this before - these goldfish were all purchased as small babies for not much money, but I fed them a good homemade diet and provided them a large (65 gallons) aquarium so they had lots of room to grow. They rewarded me by becoming large, beautiful happy fish :)

[Lionelridge]

Awh, thanks man, those fish are very nice and fancy. I hope to have them someday

@123codfan Well that still sounds like you have a problem, if two aren't eating... Please take some time and read up a little on goldfish care and healthy water, as I'm sure you care about your fish and they don't deserve to suffer if you can make some simple improvements to their living conditions. Good luck! thegab.org is the best resource, I can't state that enough, so don't hesitate to read their articles or even join their forum with questions, they are incredibly helpful.
