| wow They are beautiful! Thanks for the info. I gave up goldfish back in the 1960's but these photos are not what I think of as goldfish. I may have to set up a cold water tank. MTS all the way!!!!!!! |

| I used to breed and show goldfish. The stuff you see in American pet stores is garbage (No offense to those who love their petsmart pond puppies). What you see in pet stores is the stock breeders don't want to keep for themselves and American breeders tend to go for quantity over quality anyway. Check out Asian blood lines and you may rediscover how awesome goldfish really are! | |

| I miss my tele!!! I would love to have any one of those fish, but I just can't afford Ken and Rick's shipping prices. However, I do agree that Medi-Gold and Metro-Meds are the best meds for goldies!!! | |

| Beautiful Goldys!! Have always had soft spot for them, when I lived in WA there used to be an Asian LFS that we could get the "show quality" fish. The few in the pond now there are a couple super nice telescopes the others are just pet quality that got double dipped in personality. LOL | |

| The "pet quality" types are my favorite! Ha-ha! Most of my goldies are rescues, just like Kaida's. To me, even those tend to be the ones that don't have a long life-span (because of all the cr@p they went thru before we got them) they are the ones that have the most personality and charm! | |

| Hi, I'm Judy in nevada. I keep Goldfish inside and love them! From reading here I guess I have the Mutts but I think they're beautiful anyway. I'd love to have some of the fancier ones but as someone said shipping is crazy. I like the golds because they're hardy and easy. You just need to be willing to keep their tank clean. | |

| Probably not. That's for real fish people. I just have a few gold fish. I'm on here to learn because I have had problems in the past and didn't know what to do. Judy | |

| Steve at RainGarden has some beautiful fish, too. Also his shipping is more reasonable. | |

| We'll see if we can make it. We have a ranch which is a full time job but the weather may be bad that day so we won't be able to work outside much. I do love my fish and think about getting a bigger or another tank. Hubby thinks it's too much added work even tho I'm the one who cares for it. As a matter of fact I had back surgery in Nov, came home and after 2 weeks I just had to clean my tank. I have to stand on a chair to reach all the way to the bottom because it's tall . Well I stepped down from the chair and my leg gave out on me because it was still weak. It was affected by the spine. You guessed it....I fell backward! Not a good thing but no serious injury because my poor dog broke the fall. We crazy pet people.

Very true! All the goldfish at pet stores are garbage...Not that they dont make fine pets but they are usually poorly bred. I used to get my goldfish from the people here in LA that import them from China and Japan. I'm always glad to meet another goldfish enthusiast.
