Hi all though I would give a little information about my fish,so here goes, I have a high rectangle
fish tank four foot long by one and a half high and a foot deep.
In November 2001 I bought four Cold water fish from a shop, their names.
Mosschops : Shububkin, He is now the biggest of my fish and is Orange with brown markings and scales spead out, very friendly always at the glass with his mouth going when im near, thrashes about.
Cherry Bomber :Comet Shububkin,Bomb shaped, blousy tail mixture of colours, Pink gill covers, Tomato orange coloured some silver near tail, died this year,very slowly had to put him out of his misaree, was always susseptable and did not grow as fast as Mosschops and Goldrush.
Kiss : Small Goldfish, stunted apperance golden yellow, died just before Cherry bomber again mystery illness.
Goldrush : Goldfish, second biggest fish in my tank, exellent condition, golden yellow in colour, can get almost as exited as Mosschops at times, picks up gravel and throws it out again like Mosschops does.
The next fish I bought was.
Fancy : sarasa Comet, started off a silvery brown but in time changed to Orange, Later had a growth spurt this year and is now Orange and Silver, can be susseptable to fin problems from time to time as he has a blousy lon tail like Cherry bomber had.
After I moved into my new flat from Nov 2003
Early this year about Feb or March I bought
Skinns, quite small when I got him and is now a pale looking Shububkin with some orange spots here and there, black lines on fins,was in a small tank in the kitchen for a while
Baddiel, quite small when I got this fish, now a rang Shububkin, not Deep nor Comet shape bit of both in shape, Orange in colour mottled with
dark brown spots almost leopard like, has gold scales evenly spread arround body, reminds me of a Mirror Carp, will be an attractive fish when he is older.
Got these two fish a couple of months after I moved into my flat, Mosschops,Goldrush,Cherrybomber and Kiss remained at Barbaras until I got my new tank.
Got my new tank this year spring time, and moved Goldrush, Mosschops,Cherry Bomber and Kiss from Barbaras to my flat, also moved Skinns and Baddiel in with them.
Went out fishing one day and caught a couple of fish for my tank, I was probably a naughty boy then but they are more than happy now.
Roach 1 Pristine condition but has a deformed mouth due to possible past hook damage
Roach 2 Slightly less deep than roach 1, fins are more orange and slightly tattered, but now healed some what.
both the roaches tend to chase eachother around and usualy stick together in a two fish shoal, have now taken to flakes, but I do throw in chopped worm and frozen Bloodworm, when I was fishing earlier this year, Roaches 1 an 2 and Mosschops,Goldrush, Cherry bomber, Kiss and Baddiel and skinns were temporarily on a high protein diet of Maggots, the likely reason fancy had his growth spurt.
Kiss dies
Then cherry bomber dies
replaced Kiss and Cherry Bomber with.
Spunky tiny brown Veiltail,was so small when i bought it he looked like a tiny fish with a miss proportioned head, and was uncontrolably buffeted around bty the pumps and filters, now much stronger, but has not grown much and not so ugly now
Un-named red
Capped Oranda fantail Was slightly bigger than Spunky when bought, also for a time was buffeted around, has grown slightly and is much stronger swimming as is Spunky now.

Skinns

Died earlier Cherry Bomber, Kiss and a Gudgeon that obviously did not like running water I guess
