They are all gorgeous!!!  Amazingly gorgeous!!
That calico ryunkin is beautiful too!
Those pearl scales are like I've never seen before!
Gosh it's so expensive to do the buy it now tho!
But I guess you get what you pay for!
I think it's wonderful of him to ship them out so fast to you!
I saw all of them on the auction and have been drooling over such wonderful fish!

I just bid on 4 fish last night. I can't tell you wich ones because one of them (which we named Franklin) exceeded our bid amount.  . How do they ship the fish? I hope I win my fishies. My boyfriend and I already gave them names last night. I know we're silly

Okay, I'll tell you. We bid on a Ryukin a ranchu and a  eggfish.  I've never heard of an eggfish, but this one is so adorable. 

the little black ranchu. He is just so cute.

Wow! Congrats Aimee.

Maybe if the two crown pearlies are opposite sexes I might try to breed them. My ranchus already show signs of mating habits. Poor Cupie, the biggest ranchu ( one on my avatar) all the boys chase her around and nudge her sides.

Hey teensy can I tell you how I usually have better chance winning one I want. I don't bid on it till last 15-3 minutes all the way up to last second. I get them cheaper this way. And with holidays I bet will be less people bidding on Sunday between being out of town, shopping, being broke lol. But hold off on bidding. Bidding wars drive price way up because people have time to think about if they want to spend more on a particular fish. As long as your computer fast enough to do it like that. Warning site almost always slows down at that time because of people all bidding at once so keep that in consideration.

It rare you will see me bid a fish till end. Only reason I will is so I can drive price to where someone cannot instant buy it.
Have only bought one fish ever on instant buy and that is last pearlscale photo. To give you idea. Cupie doll the large white ranchu on my avatar, was a no reserve auction, well I waited till last minute to bid her and got her for $55 and she was 6 inches. He had her listed on instant buy at $400 or around there. Got really lucky on her.

Good luck all on winning your fish. Thanks for all compliments on my
New babies. Can't wait to get them.

I seriously don't understand how you have all the room for these fish  I don't think I know anyone with this many fish especially goldies who need more room than tropical. Also you must be rich to first off afford these types of goldfish and then to have all the tanks, filters, products for them. I am poor because of my goldfish 

Yes he always let's you make sure you will be home. He will also use heat packs. Hope you get your fish. I have a fish that when I got him he was just like that littlest black ranchu. I have had him since late July. I can post a pic of him if you want to see how he developed.

Minde, I won the first 4 on auction that ended few weeks ago. Ken had let me put off having them sent so I could look at next auction and would only have to pay shipping once. But he had family emergency last week and had to put off auction till this past Sunday. Only fish I got from this auction is the last crown pearl in photos that i did instant buy (first time I ever sprung for instant buy).

Andrea, I have a 90 gallon, 75 gallon, 40 gallon (12 yr old daughters will be upgrading to a 55 soon)a 20 gallon and a 10 gallon setup. I have 2 -55 gallons a 40 gal and 3- 10 gallons off to side waiting if I need them which I don't quite yet and setting up a 10 fir the little ranchu Maycee (5 yr old) wanted for Xmas. I plan on selling some of them can get another tank in a snap on craigslist and i havd product that i have great success with cycling my tanks within 2 days  So when I count my fish I have at 10 gallons per fish almost exactally the room I need can actually fit one more (this is all including new ones). I do water changes every 3-5 days depending on tank. I have Filteration on 90gal that is good for up to 245 gallon so more then double. On 75 have enough for 210 gallons. And all other tanks have at least double filtration needed.

As for being rich lmao. Not quite my husband is a master sergeant in the air force so we do ok but by no means even upper middle class.
I have used only money I have earned buying tanks, filters, decorations ect for cheap on craigslist then I clean them up piece them out and make them look great. Then I sell them for profit have always made at least double to quadruple money back. So except for the original set of tanks and equipment I bought for $150 the $150 Eric spent on the 90 gallon he bought for bday and this last fish I am getting for xmas, all other fish and equipment have come from profits I have made on craigslist. That is only reason he ok with all of this.  
I used to gave horrible insomnia and had to take sleeping pills. Well since I put tank in bedroom I haven't needed any. So that helps him accept also lol.

Hope that answers all you guys you questions hope I didn't miss any.

I am also very sorry for your and your families lost, that is such a horrible event to happen and may he rest in peace.

I've always found plenty of second hand tanks but never second hand filters, but I'd be a bit scared of them anyway as I'm not to sure how to clean them correctly. Looks like you have a great way of going about everything with some very lucky and amazing fish I hope they can make you happy during this time of your life.

Aimee sending you and your family love and prayers and hope that you will all find peace in time after having gone through this devastating event. It makes no sense in situations where one person's choice to drive while intoxicated destroys the life of a loved one.  Your cousin sounds like he was a extraordinary human being. His memory will shine on and all his accomplishments and how he influenced many in his lifetime, will resinate throughout all he leaves behind. My deepest condolences to you all.

Lets hope he seees your fishies in the sky.

Congrats Aimee! Sorry I read this so late 

Well I did it!
I bid on some fish from Ken's auction on Goldfish connection.
The reason?  Because I am sick of getting sick fish at petstores and actually shipping these 3 fish was cheaper than my 1 1/2 hour drive to the petstore.  The fish were $15-$25 which is less than I would pay at the pet store too.  They are being shipped over nite air. So tomorrow morning they will be delievered.  I've never done this before and am as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof!  LOL!
Ken is really very very nice and all his fish come guaranteed.  He personally calls you after the auction to set up a time that is suitable to you to receive the fish.  So far I am nothing less than impressed!
Thank you Aimee for walking me through this and holding my hand!!  For the countless instant messages answered and the questions through PM on here, I am truly grateful.
Well if you are curious here are pictures of my new fish...

Thanx Aimee congrats to you too!
The fish you won are gorgeous!!
Hope you and the girls enjoy them for many years to come!!
