Very Special Goldfish Companions Must Find Home 

Hello,

I found your name at the Greater Seattle Aquarium
Society?s web page, and saw that you do an occasional
rescue.  

I have some very special fish that I?ve been keeping
for quite a while that I must find new homes for
because I have permanently injured my wrist and back
and can?t take care of the tanks any longer.  Four of
the fish I believe would be better off in a pond.

The fish are as follows:

1)  8", 5 year old Common (possibly Nymph) Goldfish,
very hardy, playful, fast swimmer
2)  4", 1.5 year old Sarassa Comet, playful and hardy
3)  4", 1.5 year old Sarassa Comet, playful and hardy
4)  4", 2 year old Common Goldfish, playful and hardy

The above fish are kept in a 60 gallon acrylic
"Tru-Vu" tank with a 250 H.O.T. Magnum and an Emperor
280 filter.  I think that, due to their body style,
they probably should be in a pond for the rest of
their lives.

I also have:

1)  3", 2 year old Lionhead Goldfish, healthy
2)  3", 1.5 year old Lionhead Goldfish, healthy
3)  3", 1.5 year old Lionhead Goldfish, healthy

These fish are in a 46 gallon glass bow front black
tank with stand.

None of these fish have had any serious disease and I
change their water, vacuum the gravel and test the
water regularly.

I would greatly appreciate a response if possible- I
have sent an email to the Kitsap Aquarium Society and
also tried initially to get in touch with the Goldfish
Sanctuary but I understand that they don?t have a
chapter out this way.  I really, really want the fish
to go to a home where they will be well-taken care of
and live long healthy lives.

Thanks
