Sticking to Goldfish June 23, 2008
The ‘tank of death’ has two new occupants. I’ve named them Cling and Clang.
They are little Fantail goldfish. One is mostly orange with black spots and white/clear fins, the other is mostly white with a couple of orange patches and black spots. I’ve tried to take photos of the them, but these little guys are very quick movers and are only 2-3cm long, so it’s really difficult to get a clear shot. You’ll have to make do with this lovely shot I found on Flickr.
I was looking for Orandas, but I wanted two fish because one on it’s own seems kind of sad and the shop we went to didn’t have any really little ones. Instead they had a tank full of baby Fantails. I chose my two because they have nice fat little bodies and their tails are already looking lovely.
Thus far they seem to be pretty happy in their new home. I’ve moved the tank into the front loungeroom so I don’t see them all that much. I make a point of visiting them two or three times a day to make sure they’re okay. They don’t seem to mind at all and are starting to come to the glass to look back at me.
