What kind of GF are you keeping? Orandas? Shubunkins and comets? Which
are your favorites? How long have you been keeping GF?
-----------------------
One white fantail, which was purchased with and for my daughter 9 years
ago together with another goldfish that's since died. We thought that
goldfish were "easy" fish . This was the first time I kept goldfish.

## I see you quickly found out they're not all that easy and need roomy
tanks with good filtration. Wow, 9 years! You must be doing something
right. :-))

Two comet-shaped shubunkins that hatched in my brother's pond in 1999. I
like the shubunkins for their colours and their active nature.

## I agree! I have many of them in 150g kiddy pools out behind my house
where I breed them. I also have some of the best young ones in my 55g tank
in the sun-fishroom. This is a room with large south and west facing
windows that exists only for my fish and tropical houseplants. There are
extra supports under the floor. Most of my tanks are in this room.
