actually, this is the third Goldfish i've ever owned, and the first that doesn't have a bubble-head. the LPS i work at has a monsterous 50g tank filled to the brim with both Common and Fantail goldfish. Commons are all red, white and black, the Fantails are all Calico. this fish had been there since the first time i visited in April, and i've been told he was there for a very long time because he was more than and inch long. he's 3" from nose to tail, and apparently has never grown. he came from a home-owned fish bowl, got to big for the quart bowl and was dumped there. i figure he was stunted, as he hasn't grown, but he's the sweetest little boy i've ever seen.

while labelled a 'Calico' he doesn't seem much like one. he's a pure white with a bit of black to his anal fin, one eye is pure black and the pupil reflects red, the other is silver with a black pupil. he's been named Bigg, even though he's tiny for a Goldfish and will probably stay that way forever, you see i had stunted Goldies that never grew.

he's being kept in a 1g tank (bad me!) with three-day changes until i get him his own 5g tank.

Eee! I love goldfishies! Have 22 of them. :D My favorite fish in my 85 gallon tank are named (please excuse the names) Hitler and Hitler-Jr. Hitler is 6 inches from nose to tail and is a common goldfish. He is pure Livewire Mountain Dew orange....Well except for his silly Hitlerish features. He has a black cap directly on top of his head between his eyes....and a miniature snippet of black in the center of his upper lip! :D :D :D :lol: :fun: He follows me around his tank while I go around my dorm room like he was a lost animal. It's so cute! Now Hitler Jr. is identical to Hitler except he is a baby. About 1 inch from nose to tail and he has black about his body making him look as if he were wearing a suit! He also has the hitler black cap and stash. :lol: :nod: I love those two fishies!!
 
Congradulations on the new goldfish, BettaBoyz :flowers:

I like goldfish, too. Unfortunately, I just had to give some away to make room in my big tank which is 55 gallons. Too many corys and gouramis these days. -_-
