Beautiful healthy fancy goldfish

Many people think of goldfish as the common household pet that many people keep in a bowl as kids. Anyone who kept a goldfish will probably remember who short-lived they are...but not these ones!

This is how goldfish SHOULD be appreciated! With a good-sized tank and proper care they can live for decades, and with the variety of fancy goldfish breeds they can provide you with hours of fasination. Even non-aquarists have to admit how hypnotically beautiful a well-kept aquarium can be.

In this tank are 2 chocolate orandas and one calico oranda exhibiting normal, healthy behaviour.

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Just to address some of the questions in the comments left here over the past few years - I still keep my orandas and they are still full of energy! I keep them in a 60litre tank which is well aerated with a good filtration system and just feed them regular gold fish flakes (although they do get the occassional freeze-dried treat!).

If anyone else wants to post a video response of their own fish I'd love to see it!

Normal healthy behaviour would be them dashing back and forth almost restless? Mine are a bit too lazy...

@xnermeenx - My fish tend to get very excited like this every time they see me approaching the tank. They don't dash around quite so madly if I stay back to watch them and they certainly don't do it to other people (in fact, they usually hide if it's someone unfamiliar). Of course I can't film them without getting close, so what you get to see are some very excitable goldies :)
