New fish for me!

[Nepen]

I've been eyeing a yellow Watonai from rain garden for sometimes until just the other day when I said I'm going to get myself a valentine's day (good excuse?)

So my fish arrived today and he is alive and healthy.

BUT!!! He is not as yellow as I thought. He is pretty and gold, I just expected a more paler yellow I guess. AND he is HUGE!!!!!!!!!

He is now in my 55 gallon tank and he is huge in there. My poor guppies and crayfish never saw anything like this lol. I hope he will be ok in there for at least 2 months.

All in all I'm pretty happy. He will definitely add color to my pond. He has pretty flowing tail too.

Picture time...

I stopped at the koi fish farm while I was in NC and he had a lot of new fish and I was tempted but I resisted the temptation .He had some pretty yellow butterfly koi in his outdoor tanks .Had to resist 5 dollars a piece .Really Really hard

Nice Valentine present! You got just what you wanted

I don't mean to be a downer but aren't you afraid of the crayfish harming the new goldfish? I would worry about the long flowing tail especially if he sleeps or rests on the bottom of the tank.

Just something to think about....

Quite a pretty fish!

Thanks

Betta, I thought if that but I don't think there will be a problem. Well, I'm hoping there will not be a problem more like. The crays are a little less than half the goldfish size. But if there is a problem I'll have to figure it as it comes.

The fish color is getting yellower now. I love his color now. Really is a gold fish.

Probably a little pale when it arrived due to stress from shipping. We will need some new pictures soon.

Oh sissy, I would not have been able to resist...you are a stronger woman than me!

I have been thinking about them since .I took pics but none of them came out right .They darted around the holding tanks so fast .They are in a green house and he has about 10 tanks with fish in them .

I had no idea that you could order goldfish from a breeder.
Very nice looking fish!

 

[Nepen]

I hardly able to resist temtation to buy fish so I told myself I will not look at fish, but that failed lol. I be been wanting yellow watonai goldfish and this is the only place I found that sell them.

He is a very real 'gold' color now. Which is very pretty.

Too bad I think my 55 gallon is too small for him. I really hope I could move him out soon... Poor guy seems tight in that tank. At least winter is halfway done!!!

We hope nepen we hope .old man winter seems to have a mind of his own
