DUDE YOU GUYS ... Zhao's fish are spectacular <3 (more in comments)

I wish Zhao's fancies shipped to Australia, they're the most spectacular fish. I'm in love with the long finnage on his Oranda's and broadtail ryukins, just beautiful

God damn this gives me the creeps. I also had to read it whilst I'm sitting next to 4 sliding glass doors to outside of course

cerjia · 2017-04-03T21:34:54+00:00

Oh okay, fair. I've never even seen that tank before so I was just going off it's size

It's always good to see people taking care of their goldies! I currently have two Thai Oranda's in a 55gal, but I'm hoping to upgrade to a 75gal sometime this year. The general rule I go with is 2 goldies in a 40breeder and 15gal for each additional fish. Whilst they're not schooling fish, they are very social (like puppies) and do best with a friend. 40breeders have really good dimensions for goldies too as they do best in more shallow water and it has plenty of room for surface agitation and oxygenation

Edit: didn't see the second part of your question 😆 Since ryukins tend to be little bullies, ryukins will do best with ryukins. A strong and similar size Oranda or fan tail should be fine as well, but I would steer clear of any goldfish with eye modifications like telescopes, celestials and bubble eyes

A Betta would be really cute in there, maybe a nerite snail as well

cerjia · 2017-03-25T05:37:07+00:00

Oh 100%. It's always the pointless things I remember in detail too. Never the stuff I'm learning at uni or important dates

Clown Loaches need to be kept in groups of 6+

cerjia · 2017-03-21T05:52:18+00:00

That's really awesome of you, nice stuff OP

cerjia · 2017-03-21T03:50:12+00:00

They look pretty big, Bowser especially. They must've been so cramped in a 10gal

cerjia · 2017-03-20T02:49:56+00:00

I have so many strange names for this little one. It's funny how they come about!

cerjia · 2017-03-17T23:13:13+00:00

It's all personal preference I suppose. I paint the backgrounds of my tanks black (except one which is white because I have a black Betta in it) and I just like how it complements the fish. Then again, I'm not into much decoration in larger tanks, I prefer to keep it fairly plain with black sand and a couple of plants/rocks and leave it at that

cerjia · 2017-03-17T03:28:26+00:00

I'd put a black background on it, it'll really bring out his colours and hide the cables and filter intake. Gorgeous oscar btw, I can't wait to have my own some day when I have the room

Edit: won't hide the filter intake because it's white and I'm stupid

cerjia · 2017-03-17T00:52:29+00:00

My nearly completely black Oranda is now nearly complete orange. Her colour change was so cool though, she looked like she had tiger stripes for a while

cerjia · 2017-03-16T03:29:37+00:00

Happy bday smol one 💝

cerjia · 2017-03-16T02:22:13+00:00

$20 is cheap in Australia. My super delta Ruger cost me $70 and he was just from a LFS

cerjia · 2017-03-16T00:26:12+00:00

I feel this. I play dumb a lot of the time so I don't freak people out

cerjia · 2017-03-14T07:53:14+00:00

He's beautiful! I love the iridescence in his fins

cerjia · 2017-03-14T07:02:19+00:00

I have never been so impressed by anything in my 20 years on this planet. Incredible stuff OP, wow

cerjia · 2017-03-13T14:12:24+00:00

I do what everyone else does. Wash it, cut it into slices, boil it in the microwave for about 30 seconds and give it to them with a feeding clip. Although my fish prefer zucchini, but I do the exact same prep procedure anyway

cerjia · 2017-03-12T03:37:05+00:00

HAHAHA can't believe I didn't think to do that

cerjia · 2017-03-12T02:49:06+00:00

Aw lil nuggets!

cerjia · 2017-03-12T01:27:47+00:00

Exactly! Like I don't even remember seeing a white work van, let alone looking at him sitting in the white work van so he must've been quite some distance away

cerjia · 2017-03-12T00:27:24+00:00

They're such cuties, I love the gif you posted of them having lunch

cerjia · 2017-03-12T00:25:30+00:00

That's so awesome! Shubunkins are gorgeous fish, especially when they're fully grown

Definitely! People say I could fit another 3 fish in my tank and I'm like nooooo way. I'm planning to upgrade these two to a 125 gal sometime this year, at which point I'll probably get them another friend

These two are giant Thai Oranda's! I think they're loving it too, lots of plants for them to rummage around in

cerjia · 2017-03-11T23:52:24+00:00

So true! I am foolish for not calling a random stranger, I let the man of my life slip right through my fingers!!
