What is the lifespan on a goldfish like these? I assume they are human created, right?
It will be interesting to see them when they are adults.
What did you do with your tank(s) today?

A typical 10 - 15 year lifespan.
These are basically the original flowerhorns, lol. As man made as they come.
Idea as to what I hope to see as adults

That's not true. Flowerhorns are interspecific hybrids. These things are hopelessly inbred lines harboring a host of recessive mutations. Man-made for sure, but completely different genetically.

I'd be in trouble; my schedule gets so hectic this time of year I do occasionally have to feed after midnight.
Ordered some food from Super Cichlids. There was some talk a while back about Dr Bassleer BioFish foods, but the consensus was with us large cichlid keepers that we needed the 3XL pellet size. Of course the catch was that you could not find this size anywhere except Europe! Turns out that Super Cichlids had this size but only in the "Green" formula which is perfect for my large pearsei. Will see how he does on it. I think they were clearancing out the 3XL Green because the price was pretty decent. I was only able to get the one container of 68g (at $7.99) and no more were available in that size.
Yay, Confirmation email that my two lionchu are shipping out today from King Koi Goldfish. They offered free two day shipping with the purchase of two fish and they guaranteed live delivery this way too. That in itself is unusual since most companies may offer a two day but will not guarantee it like one day so it forces you to upgrade your shipping. The other fish should be shipping out on Monday or Tuesday next week and it is coming from Goldfish Island.

Interesting, I'll have to check this place out.
Dropped off 9 more Bettas at Sierra and left with a large container of fish food, some Alex treats and still managed plus $3 in more store credit lol

Got all my water changes done today and got bit again by Charles, aka albino tiger oscar. She is about 16" of anger lol
Just a typical weekend doing water changes and some tank cleanings.
This week I should have two more fancy goldfish coming in from online purchases.
And I am still looking to fill the 46g with something. Been looking for more Madagascar rainbows but Petsmart around me have been out of these for a while now. Had visited 3 different Petsmart and they did not have any, not sure if seasonal or what. Its comical to see this tank with the lone fish, who is very happy but it is just a blank canvas at this point. Looking to keep this as a community of smaller fishes.

That's so cool. I'm just sitting by the pond about 20ft away from where I remember I have a nice sheet of dry plywood but in half lol So maybe sometime I'll do something similar. I have always loved those hexagon and whatnot terrariums and wanted to build one forever. You're inspiring me to do it. There's always free glass, I just need the tools.
And to actually study a bit more lol I know the basics and if the glass guy is gone, the kid sweeping floors at Lowes did a better job than the glass guy did anyway lol "I've only done this a few times"
Eh, it.was like 1/8 short. Had he cut it exact the lid wouldn't fit. Tight as is lol. If he can do it, I can. The rest is just math, which my neurologist says is 7th grade level. Should be ok lol
Feeding my new "pet"
I told my wife I put it outside last week lol
