[GSAS-Member] seen any small shubunkins recently?

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

I'm setting up some small pools with miniature waterlilies at my new place
and I'd like to put some small shubunkins in them. I have 4 left from our
goldfish rescue this past winter, but I'd like to keep them in the pool
they've adapted to already. I found some monster shubunkins (8-10") at
Denny's Pet World but they are way too big for these ponds, especially
newly set up. I'm looking for something less than 4" so they can 'grow
into' the pond and not stress the filtration so much right at the get go.
Shubunkins are in stock through fosterandsmith live fish, but I'd like to
find something local if I can. I can always just use whiteclouds....I have
plenty of those.

Also, I'm in the market for a large trashed/scratched acrylic tank to
quarantine goldfish in. Something at least 100 gallons. As long as it
holds water and I can see the fish, it'll work for me as it'll be in the
garage....not a livingroom show tank! I don't need any other equipment for
it....I've got filters/pumps etc. I do have a 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock
tank, but I'd like something clear so it's easier to see what's going on
with the fish when they are new and have potential problems.

I have aspirations for a larger pond soon....waterlilies/goldfish. We'll
see...no koi....it's goldfish that speak to me. You know what I mean...

By the way, I heard rumors that the Renton Fish Gallery doesn't have much
these days. What's going on??? Is it worth the drive south to check to see
if they have any shubunkins?
