Notice another red spot on the tail of the female Lionchu, apparently this is referred to as "Goldfish Red Pest Disease". This is caused by a bacterial infection. Water quality is said to be a major factor but I do 50% water changes weekly and regular gravel vacs. Wondering if I never really...

Update: Female Lionchu looks a lot better with the redness greatly reduced and seem a bit more active with the tankmates. The new fish are eating pellets and look to be doing well.

I found a larger Meg tooth online and its on its way! Not in my hands just yet but online pic from where I got it. With the bit of damage its considered a 'partial' tooth and this made it about a third of the price of a more complete one. I liked the fact the root was intact and the tip, with a...

A bad pic of the female Lionchu, the one new Ryukin and one new oranda behind. The other Ryukin is a calico like the oranda.

New goldfish have settled right in and are active and have ate frozen Mysis shrimp. They seem to have calmed a little and are not harassing the female as much. Its kind of fun seeing the tank with a bit more activity and color again.

Decided to add a couple 'cheap' goldfish from Midway to my tank with the solo Lionchu. Got 2 shortfin Ryukin and 1 oranda. The Ryukin are small and were like $13 each and the much larger oranda was $40. Pretty 'cheap' when you consider I had been ordering goldies online that were closer to $200...

Added a small Ikea rack to the fish room so I could put my aqaurium books and fossils on it

Stopped at Sierra and Midway yesterday looking to fill low stocked tanks. Found 2 short fin Ryukin, and one oranda that I added to the lone lionchu. Tank has activity now. Sadly however, I believe the 3 new fish are male and the lionchu is female. Seemed like they were harassing her and nipped...

Been a while since I updated this. Front bed sprinkler lines and heads are installed. In the upper left corner of the picture is the spot i need to add a 90 degree elbow and then trench a good 20 feet or so till I can connect to the water for my front sprinkler zone. Will also need to bury the...

A morning of garage tank water changes. Also got in a food order from Kens. Got some small bags to try out some foods on the giant gourami. The fish can be a bottomless pit and I realized I need to feed a bit larger type pellets so I am looking at some budget Hikari foods. Plus they have a new...

I have more pics I need to find on the GoPro from our trip... I think some from Molokini crater snorkel trip We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are talking about planning another trip for next year. Will see how we do with finances to see if we can afford it but kind of excited to go back and...

Was sad to get this email notice... Felt like they had some nice custom foods.

Beast! Love it!

Now that Im back from vacation I need to think about some tank stocking. The 40B with the solo Polar parrot is very empty looking, same with the 90g Congo themed tank and the 65B goldfish tank. Part of me has thought about rehoming the solo Polar parrot and solo goldfish and cutting down on...
