I am not new to fish keeping, and have had many tanks and grew some tiny koi in my pond. After they grew for about 1.5 years, I sold them to a good home. I wanted to convert my pond to really cool pond goldfish. I got 4 really nice small Wakin (classic red and white) from my local store. Then I found Raingarden. Also got 2 Black Opal shubunkin from Blackwater Creek. I wanted unique goldfish for my pond. Here are some pics of my Raingarden fish (raingarden pics).
2 golden wakin (body ~3-4")
2 blue wakin (body ~ 5")
1 Midnight Shubunkin (body ~6.5")
I also added a few more floating planted plants: Creeping jenny, and another moneywart variety. I have two floating planters that I am keeping duckweed in to occasionally feed them duckweed...They seem to love it. I figured these new little guys might appreciate a little more cover on the pond since they are new. I will have to get a few pics of my black opal shubunkins and red/white wakins. They are pretty nice looking, to me that is . This is my first post in the Goldfish forum, so be kind
