So excited! I read on here that if you take goldfish food flakes and hold them between your fingers it will help your fish to feed from your fingers. I have been able to get my goldfish to come to one certain spot at my pond and tonight I put flakes between my fingers and they ate from my fingers and kissed them too :surprised: I love this forum it has such great ideas and information.

Fine looking goldies you have there, Fresia! Just be careful... they ARE addictive, you know. :luxlove:

Those little butt wigglers are cute and I see you are in a cold zone like others are who have them. I might have to get me a couple of those cuties!

Hey, thanks for the feeding advice :) I'll have to try that. Some of mine will tolerate my hand in the water.

Nice photos, too! I can't get decent photos of my little guys due to the reflections in the water [and don't have a camera setting to compensate for that].

Can you get a UV filter for the camera? You rotate it until the glare goes away.

maybe addictive but great addiction to have and very calming also .I actually took my blood pressure meter down with me to the pond and was amazed at how it goes down and mine is not high but just wanted to see what happened .It is better than drugs just like loving any pet they relax you .

hold a uv protection pair of sun glasses in front of the camera lens, (a pair with big lenses) works great.
