...and they need at *least* 1 gal of water per inch of fish. Goldfish are pooping machines.
Did you cycle the tank?

No we made the mistake of buying the fish first, so we needed somewhere to put them asap.. Only after did we start doing our research. Everything was very impulsive.
But we used spring water and treated it to hopefully reduce the risks. Any suggestions and advice is appreciated of course.
We did get a large enough tank... For now. Until they start growing... We'll see if they get to that point.
Learned that too late too... These are (sorry to say) trial fish.
I'm really hoping I don't kill them but this is all new to me so I know the chances of me making a mistake is high.

It happens unfortunately. We've all made the mistake at some point. My mom did the same thing with some goldfish. Man they grow fast. The one robert had in England was 9" in about a year

One of the growouts. I have had them for about a year now. Newest breeding project. Jaws is being sold so now to find a nice male Umbee.

Yes i adore the color blue in a fish. Since freshwater only has so many, I finally got my hands on some of the big boys.

I want another peaceful tank. I have sold off a lot of my monsters the last year. Im going to breed jacks again since I purchased a young pair. I just couldnt resist Caquetaia Umbriferus , since the are labeled as the most aggressive .
Last year's comic con.
It got wet so I don't have it hanging, but it looks good here.
How did it get wet?
