Huw.

Nice fish, are they all in the same tank?
I used to keep tropical fish, but not marine ones. Now I have two goldfish.

Hiya

Nice fish, are they all in the same tank?

No. They're in seperate tanks. The one tank has clowns, domino's and the angel fish as well as some shrimps, whilst the other has the lionfish and the crayfish. The lionfish is predatory and will eat the smaller clowns, so they're not in the same tank. Our third tank is freshwater and has oscars in it.

I've always wanted a setup like that, how long have you had them?

The one tank is about a month old and the other about 2 years old. Small marine set-up's like these are pretty simple. No need for fancy sump's and protein skimmers. My small marine tanks are IDENTICAL to freshwater set-ups. Only difference is that i've put saltwater and some live-rock in!!(both available at your pet store) Really low maintanance and if you enjoy hardy fish, like clowns (of FINDING NEMO fame!!), really in-expensive too!! I change about one third of the water every 6 months. When the tank's water level drops, due to evaporation, i simply add a glass or two of fresh water. (supposed to use RO water, but tap water works fine for me!!)

Hope that helps!!

Regards
miles

Not quite as exotic, but I got this unusual black goldfish a few weeks ago...

How the heck can a goldfish be black? I mean, this isn't a goldfish anymore then... is it? Looks more like a golden blackfish to me . Anyway, it's a nice fishy you have there, Lucia!

Oh, and Miles' looks funky as hell! I like it.

You guys are making me miss my fish tank

Might have to get a new one.

Goldfish can be many different colours, and their natural colour is not golden! They were originally bronze-coloured, like the wild-type goldfish at the bottom of this page...
Common Goldfish

Now most of them are orange or golden, but they can be almost any colour, including red, yellow, black, white and blue. Some impressively colourful goldfish...
Bristol Shubunkin Goldfish

I like the big blue fancy goldfish, but I will need a big tank for them.
