Help With Id Fish

Hi Spacebass

I saw you were having trouble transfering it, so here's your pictures:

Hope you don't mind me posting it! I couldn't tell you what it is, just looks like some kind of Koi to me. Maybe a Molly? Any chance of a side view?

The accepted norm is that you should never mix goldfish and tropical water fish due to the different requirements. This is espcially true with the temperature; i.e if you match the trops temp the goldfish will suffer and vice versa. You touched on this a little in your earlier post.
Another point in the same vein is that goldfish are huge waste producers. They poo lots. This affects the state of the water, your water stats and consequently, the state of the fish.

They look like some kind of Koi to me.

Feel free to post your fish list here, please understand that it is quite hard for us to help you with out it. There is no 'World RSPCA' that I know of - all you will get is maybe a little flak from us!?!?
From looking at the pics, I would say you have a

Hi Annastasia thanks for moving it, I haven't actually tried to move it as yet but I have posted another pic there maybe you know what this pink fish is , anyone? By the way the original fish is only about 1.5' long Is this a bit small for a Koi? I will take better pic in shop.

Thanks again

Maybe if you feel western fish keeping practice's of actually giving the fish room to swim around, not mixing species thought of as incompatable together and keeping them in numbers low enough that the fish are not swimming around in their own sewage is over the top you should find an SE Asian forum to ask your questions on?

Cheap prices of fish in the far east lead to diabolical fish keeping practices such as keeping hundreds of fish in tanks suitable for just a handfull and keeping large species in tanks the fish can't even turn around in because if the fish dies hell you can just buy another one for a few pennies/cents and if a fish grows far to big for the tank you can just eat it and get a smaller one in the morning.

Thanks Ncj, missed the last bit could you fill in please? and

For me the big question, that no one not in the tropics has accounted for, is that here in Pattaya Thaland and I would imagine in most places at sea level in the tropics the natural water temperature of my tank which is not in the sun or anything is at this moment 08.28 am 28 degrees c. , every goldfiish in a tank in the tropics lives all the time in this very constant temperature, how do you reconcile this with your statement above, and does the board think that Goldfish should not be kept in the topics because they are considered to be cold water fish.

Thanks

Yeah the cheap prices have other consequences too, I have just discovered I have 8 albino rainbow sharks that cost me US$3, GBP1.71 the lot, in the U.S. and no doubt U.K. they would gave cost US$40 GBP22 I would obviously had a completely different attitude towards buying 8!! or assessing what I was likely to be getting for my money.
