Not a Betta, But is SUPER CUTE!!!

[djflipside]

Since I got the betta addiction under control for now. I have found another fish addiction. Goldfish I know sounds kinda weird but there are SO many types of Goldfish, and there not like your typical comet ones. Apparently they are called fancy goldfish and over in China and Japan they hold contests for these fish. They Get to be pretty big.

So i recently purchased a Ranchu Goldfish at my LFS and I think hes pretty cute what do you guys think?

What size tank do you have the little guy in? Most goldfish require REALLY big tanks!

He is super cute though :)

I had two ranchu's when I was 13.. needless to say they died because I didnt fully now what I was doing, but I loved watching them swim around in my tank.

I like Oranda's too.
I like fancy goldfish in general, but if I am going to have a 55 gallon tank I wouldnt want just 2 goldfish, you know? Same with Oscars.. love them, but I would want more than 1 in a HUGE tank.

Yeah wish I had room for another fancy goldfish like a ryukin, but I only can fit a 15gallon and that is only suitable for 1 goldfish. I was thinking about getting another small one and wait til they grow and then try to make room for a 30 gallon tank. So they have room to grow.

What do you guys think?
