Haha I know and to think these little guys are seen by many as an 'eye sore' and a 'pest'.
I find them beautiful

In fact I just saw two of mine, gracefully floating up to the top of the tank to get air, it's like an underwater snail ballet

That's okay, yours will breed in no time!

I started off with 3, kept the population around 15 while they were in the tub, since moving them to the tank, I have lost count, there are babies everywhere! XD

Well they're in a tank by themselves, so I'm not too worried, they have pretty much gone crazy in there! May have to start being a bit more vigilant with their eggs!

I think some fake plants will look nice and add something extra for them to slime over   -been meaning to get some for a while now- as long as I keep on top of cleaning up the poop and making sure they have some nice veggies to eat they'll be fine, I'm not even sure if it's possible for them to over populate the tank? Given they are rather tiny.

I imagine because I always throw vegetables in there, there is so much food, no wonder they've laid eggs like crazy XD

A little update of my fishy face, I like to think she has grown.... but she still looks so small in the tank!

The elodea as you can see has just gone nuts in there though!

Lucky can't really dig up the elodea, one bunch is weighted with a lead clip so just sort of rests on top of the gravel but often moves around, whereas the other bunch is held down with my largest gravel boulder (I had no more lead clips). There is no way Lucky can move that thing.

I know what you mean about her size, but I would rather get something bigger, so that she can grow into the space, rather than grow so much, to only to be stunted again, when she is bigger. I am also wondering if her size is not only down to the growth, but the fact she was a feeder fish from a fair, so I have wondered if she was a runt or something? I imagine if she'd been with a breeder she would have possibly been culled? Not really sure how breeders go about deciding to cull or not, so that is a large speculation.

I imagine she would look like a spec of dust, compared to your goldies! Must be something in that North Wales water we don't get down here in the South!

Oh what is fun, is to skip back to the first page for the photo when I first had her with Star and then compare 

Haha yup Lucky does seem to like being in the tank, she uses the whole space in there and I'm glad it gives her room to stretch her fins! I swear her fins have become more beautiful compared to how she was in the little tank and I have noticed Lucky's a little plumper these days

You're right though about the development, most people I've come across have said to me that goldfish do the most growing in their first 2 years

I'm hoping that if I can get something bigger -still working on crazy scheme's- I can take in one or two rescue goldfish, to be pals with Lucky   I was considering buying Bristol Shubunkins, but I think it would be nice to take in some fishy's in situations like Lucky was before the big tank.

Aw thanks minde 

Yeah I remember you mentioning that before, poor Lucky, she really didn't have the best start did she!

Hopefully if I can fulfill my 6ft x 3ft wooden tank dream next year....just imagine it.... she is going to have so much space!!  

Wow. Lucky is lucky.  That's one BIG tank.  Beautifully set up. 

looks like a Rio ?
