EnjoiFish Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Looks like you're getting some great coloration and growth! You may not even need to dish out all that extra money for new lights. But if you did, I bet your tank would turn into a forest of zoas in a second. Link to comment

THANKS SO MUCH! yeah, i don't think i'm gunna have the money for it, tuition is kicking my butt now lol. but, i think everything is fine for me, at least for now, color is NOT lacking imo =] SOME NEW PICS! FTS with everything open ever-growing gsp chocolate chip mint sunflowers eternal sunshines & pink panthers pink zoot suits (with aqua splatters/mints in background) mushies AND, i know nobody cares, but TOO BAD because I finally got another goldfish for my 40g he is a tiny pearlscale, and his name is Charles Gregory the First, he is IMPOSSIBLE to get a good pic of because he is so darn fast! you can see how tiny he is, but my other fish are monster sized too! =] Link to comment
Phixion Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Love the new pics Dahlia! Your coralline growth is insane!! I used to have growth that intense until I got an urchin that can keep up with eating it faster than it can grow back... And your goldfish, one with a wierd growth on it's face and another with bulging eyes. Definitely not the average goldfish I tried to keep as a kid, lol! Link to comment
EnjoiFish Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I was going to say Charlie doesn't look tiny...actually he looks kind of fat, until I saw that comparison shot. He's a cutie. I'm just amazed you still devote that much attention to your freshwater after moving to salt. We have a planted tank in our living room and it is terribly neglected. I can't wait to find the catfish a new home so we can tear it down. Great pictures as always D! Link to comment

Great pictures as always D! haha, yeah i've had my goldfish for years, and they live for 10-30 years so i try and make their long life as nice as possible =] i love them so much, people always are like "woo freakin whoo it's a goldfish" but they have such good personalities, always coming up to the glass and eating from my fingers. i tried planted with my goldfish, but that turned into just a nice buffet for them LOL.

Nick's Reef Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Nice tank, I like the aquascape and the corals are nice too. The goldfish are kinda neat too, I used to have a pond in my backyard with about a dozen fancy goldfish but that lasted til' the racoons found out how to get the mesh cover off. I hate the ones with the bulging eyes tho. Link to comment
Phixion Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Insane pics, that's cool though! I wouldn't mind looking at goldfish like your's all day! Traditional ones are just rather bland in comparison. I LOVE my little tuxedo pincushin urchin. It even took a piece of coralline and put it over it's back along with various zoas, lol! It doesn't always eat my coralline, but it's eaten more than I expected it would. Link to comment

onefish2fish Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 this is a newb ? and off topic but see how you added "pg 52" to the title- how can i do that? thanks. Link to comment
AcroporaLokani Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Nice tank, I just looked at a BC 29 at petsmart yesterday and I have to say it looks deceiving in all the pics I see on this site the tank looks small but in person the tank looks huge. And nice goldfish I used to have a bunch of them ( ten cent goldfish )but I had to give them to my LFS since I'm moving and could only keep one tank, they ended up being sold to some guy who put them in his pond but now seeing gold fish again makes me think "Hmm.... Well gold fish were cheaper than coral". this is a newb ? and off topic but see how you added "pg 52" to the title- how can i do that? thanks.

dahliaheartsyou Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 overfreeding overloving.... same thing. jk haha, i think a lot do overfeed to get them "show-quality" but after years of mutation selection, the damn things organs are all frucked up and they come out like that. and i lub dem.

fellbeast Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Nice Lionhead Goldfish.. I like the white one with the eyeliner! Yeah I try to tell people goldies are a lot to take care of.. very messy! Anytime I say that, people always say well I always see people keeping them in a small bowl with no problem... yeah.. and most die. I have a Koi pond with a few fat comet goldfish. I just moved them to temporary indoor enclosures. They're not happy, but it's technically slow down time for them.. they're fattening up for their winter slumber. Link to comment
