Re: [GSAS-Member] Big Tank Suggestions

["Richard Parke" <sparke_ricardo@msn.com>]

I've loved keeping Ryukins, Pearlscales and Orands for years. They've kept me 
busy with water changes, but that's a small price to pay for all the fun. Each 
fish has proved to be very much an individual. They've taught me a lot. I've 
lost some (poor management on my part) given/sold some, and am now down to two. 
They're sharing a 50 gal well-planted tank with white clouds, zebra danios, 
rummy noses, glowlights, and two algae-eating loaches. It's a lively, colorful 
place. One of the funnest things I've learned: How much experienced gold fish 
keepers disagree about everything.

See you at the meeting.

  I was amazed at how much I enjoyed watching the little shubunkin babies
  Meredith & I rescued from my neighbor's pond back in 2007 (I think) grow
  up in a planted tank. You get a whole different perspective when you can
  see the WHOLE fish rather than just their backs (grin). Again, I'm
  probably the only one who enjoys goldfish enough to bring them
  inside....and all of mine are currently outside. But I've been roaming the
  house trying to figure out if I want to set up a 29g tank for the little
  ones inside. I have a 33long as well....hmmmmmm......
