New Goldie!

I got my fishy!
Yesterday I went to Petsmart (not my favorite pet store :/) and rescued a little Wakin goldfish from the feeder tank.  He is about an inch and a half long, all pearly white.   I don't think he was suppose to be in there, it's hard enough to to find a Wakin in a pet store that doesn't specialize in goldfish (and even if you do, it would probably cost as much as a koi), but in a feeder tank!?  Anyways, I got him for a grand total of 29 cents; I'm broke! ;)  His name is Finny, here are some pics:

(I intend to move him into a pond when he is bigger)

The Right Diet For Your Goldfish

It is important to make sure that your fish is eating the right foods, so that it can stay healthy and happy. Pellet food is great because it provides many of the essential nutrients; but I always make sure to feed my fish assorted proteins and vegetables as well.  Amount of food varies greatly on the fish's size and condition, as a rule of thumb, feed no more than your fish can eat in two minuets.  Here is a list of foods I would recommend feeding your fish:

-Frozen Peas (remove skin & warm to room temp)
-Lettuce
-Spinach
-Orange
-Bloodworms
-Pellet food

Don't feed flake food, swim bladder disorder can occur in all types of fish, not just fancy goldfish, so don't take the chance.

New Fishy!

As mentioned in my previous post, I am getting a new fishy soon!  I have been looking at the Sarasa Comet goldfish in the pet store lately, an I found a few to choose from:

-Fishy One is fairly large, with a very bright red dorsal side, and a white ventral side, 

-Fishy Two is a bit smaller and is mostly white with two red spots on the head and one on the tail,

-Fishy Three is the smallest, he/she has a jagged-patterned orange dorsal side and a white ventral side, this one is VERY energetic, yet very skinny 0.o

Right now I like fishy two the best, he/she follows my finger around the tank :)

New Tank!

Hello readers!

Over the past couple days I have been working on setting up my new 10 gal for the fishy I am getting soon!  The tank is 20" L x 10" W x 12" H, I have gravel on the bottom and a pagoda decoration in it right now.  Here are some pics!:
