I got these Fantail Goldfish (Carassius auratus) in mid-November. I also got a pair of Black Mollies. Together, these guys are the longest living fishes I’ve had. The previous two batches I had, unfortunately didn’t live very long.
They have slowly started recognizing me, which feels nice… They’d swim towards me and then up when they see me, anticipating food, I suppose…
A few weeks ago, I was washing their big, heavy glass bowl, and a small piece broke off from the bottom. So, I went on Amazon and got them a huge new home. They now swim around up and down and across all day. They seem happy…
The walls have a strong total internal reflection (the same phenomenon utilized in the prisms in our SLRs), which could only be seen in the tapered edges in their previous home.
The tank even came with a built in filter, that filters out muck on a sponge, which I didn’t know was a thing. So, I won’t need to clean out the whole tank, which is a good thing, considering how big it is. For the size, the tank’s quite light (it’s made of Fiberglass). And there’s in-built LED lighting. That retires my filter and LED spotlight, that I used in the previous tank. I have found use for the spotlight though, in my photography… I will post those very soon…

Well, I’m not sure about Mollies and Angel fishes, but from what I’ve read, Goldfish will either die in natural waters, or become an invasive species, eating off the local fish populations. They can grown as big as two feet in the wild when the other fishes are less powerful…
très jolie capture

Merci, JP…
Beautiful capture. I love his attitude and colors
Beautiful color and clarity! Your PoV really emphasizes where it got its name from.
Didn’t realize they could recognize people. The new tank sounds nice.
WOW. I didn’t know fish tanks came like that either, Sudipto. Sounds like a win-win for both you AND the fish. Fabulous photo, btw.
un joli rendu !
brilliant shot, Sudipto. i can imagine cleaning a fish tank is quite some work
Great catch…love the result ! Well done !
Hello
The photography is very pretty
Your fish are happier in a bigger house and in fact they have a different vision of their surroundings than before
