Ok I was a little off on the size. ;-) But I knew I had seen that
they fly fish for them in UK. I was told when I got them they were
like GF and would not get too big. Surprise!!!

They are popular pond fish here in the UK but not as someone has

suggested a
game fish.We also have a variant or blue Orfe. They tend to do best

in a
small school. I have 4 gold and 4 blue in my 1000 gal pond, and they

are
quite happy with the other fish, which are goldfish,gold tench and

ghost
carp. I have kept them previously in a 500 gal pond where they grew

to about
6inches in 5 years.
