fancy goldfish....anyone here have some?

I have an office aquarium with 5 nice sized fancies. They probably blow away my pondgrade koi in quality....as I have spent anywhere between $15-$35 for these. The largest is the first red capped oranda. It's body alone is around the size of a baseball. THe blue ryunkin and red and black striped ryunkin were lucky $5 finds....

another great way to enjoy fish during the long winter....and the long hours at work....

Enjoy...

Ethan

Got the fancy bug here too

Just love that red cap, Ethan. What a character!

I recently and finally got into fancy goldfish with two red and white Ryukins and a black Ranchu. I had hoped that I'd picked male and female Ryukins, but wasn't prepared for the spawning a week after putting them in my tank. *LOL* Here's the blushing bride the day of the spawn:


And the happy couple:


The day of the event:


And the dark nemesis intent on caviar brunch:

(see the eggs stuck on the glass? She gottum, but missed the one on the leaf.)

Got a 40 gallon nursery going. Maybe 30-40 eggs look viable and they should be hatching any day. What a way to start into fancies, eh? *LOL* I can't get just one foot in. Oh no. Just gotta jump in with both feet and a wetsuit......

I suppose the ranchu is a female. Wasn't in the least interested in the spawning other than the banquet that ensued.....

Love the pics! They are wonderful aren't they? Nice to have in the office. Im in a 7x11 foot office with no window. I have to have something to make me smile, right?

Glad to see you found this other hobby. It's quite enjoyable!

Blessings,
Ethan

Wow...where'd you find that lovely? Very nice!

I just purchased two 4-5" red and whites, and I have no idea whether they're SVR or TVR or proper for their type. Here's a few fairly terrible pics:
