I went to a Goldfish Auction!

[@cyndyyoungschimke5936]

I just discovered your channel and watched this auction video. I don't keep goldfish but my jaw dropped when I saw the prices they went for. I googled a couple of them and U.S. sellers want $ 20:01 200-$300 each! What a great place to shop for goldfish. PS. I felt bad for that actioneer having to bend down so much, lol.

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Ah Pat has done the auction many times over the years he does a great job. I’m glad you enjoyed the video even though you don’t keep goldfish. Maybe you could be tempted to get some in the future?

[@cyndyyoungschimke5936]

I do have freshwater aquariums & who knows, goldfish might be in my future. 😊

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Fingers crossed! If you enjoyed this video, you might like some of the others on my channel ❤️

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Always wanted to go as I am a huge fan ... You guys have so many good koi and goldfish shows and auctions

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Cheers buddy, you’d sell some of your shubunkin here 😊

[@stickylolly]

I surprised at how little they are going for.. All of them such beautiful fish

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

That’s what I wanted to show people. It’s well worth coming to these shows. Even if you aren’t interested in the show, you can just come to buy some lovely fish 🐟

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

And that price is for the whole tank. Not per fish!

[@stickylolly]

@@Mountain_Aquatics thanks for showing this I'd no idea about any of it!... The price I've paid for small Gold fish in the local pet store is away more than what's offered here... Thanks again 😀

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

And these are fish bred by the top fancy goldfish breeders in the uk! Real pedigree 😁

[@QuiltedZero12]

​@@Mountain_AquaticsThe whole tank? Oh wow!!

[@KyleJensen-qe9jt]

I personally think that bubble eye should be outlawed, it's unethical, but.

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Each to their own. Same as certain dog breeds I suppose

[@FaenumVena]

those bristols are crazy! I tried to get one from my local fish shop and they wanted something like £40 perfish that were half that size! I wish we had stuff like this down here.

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Where are you?

[@FaenumVena]

@@Mountain_Aquatics On the South West coast, nothing ever really happens down here.

[@WakinSW]

Great video Jamie mate, I should charge you for the cameo. Hope to see you next year at the shows Brad

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

I’ll be at as many as I can pal 👍 That shubunkin has settled in well in a 4ft tank for now. I’ll be taking him to his forever pond soon

[@WakinSW]

@@Mountain_Aquatics brilliant mate 👍🏻

[@fatheadedfish]

Hello, do you have a link/ email for this society. Would love to get involved next year (assuming it’s an annual event).

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

There are a few throughout the year. But this is the National so it’s the biggest. Basically there are a few clubs and they all do their own shows and meets but once a year all the goldfish clubs come together and hold this show. You have to be a member of one of the clubs to enter. If you check out the AMGK (association of midland goldfish keepers) you can join, I think it’s £12 for the year. Some clubs have other things going on as well like zoom meetings. Baby shows. Newsletter. And the shows auctions and AGM’s. Let me know if you struggle to join and I’ll help you out

[@fatheadedfish]

Thanks for getting back to me. Just joined the AMGK. Might bump into you at a future meet.

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

@fatheadedfish let’s hope so 😁

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

@@fatheadedfish you joined then?

[@fatheadedfish]

@@Mountain_AquaticsI did, got my introductory email yesterday and just managed to find the time to reply to it. Not the best time to join going into winter but I’ll look forward to some meet ups next year. How often are newsletters sent out?

[@Aquadiction]

Nice buddy, thanks for the video!!

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

No problem 👍

[@cosmoplakat9549]

I love the fantails and wakins and especially the shubunkins!The plain orange fantails are really striking.

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Are you in the U.K.? You should come

[@cosmoplakat9549]

@@Mountain_Aquatics No, I'm in the US and have always wanted a pond or a large aquarium with goldfish. ❤️❤️

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

@cosmoplakat9549 what’s stopping you having a pond?

[@pingpongpearlscales7184]

Wow such good tiny pearlscales there, i wish i could breed them like that

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

🤣🤣

[@JaymePaladino]

I liked the two large celestials for a pond. The first pair looked healthy, good genes

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Good fish

[@robbo11983]

I can’t believe the price for some of those ranchu!

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

And remember, that’s the price PER TANK! It’s amazing. Maybe I’ll see you at the next one?

[@robbo11983]

If I was nearer I’d be there , I’m in the south east so a bit of a trek

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

@robbo11983 Coventry this one. Took me about 2 hours but was worth it

[@pingpongpearlscales7184]

Come to the bristol show next year!

[@cynthiamolenaar770]

I just love the plain orange fantails nobody cares about…

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

Some good prices as well 😁 I’m glad you liked them

[@freckles2437]

Some beautiful Calico fish 🐠

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

I think so too!

[@alanthecat59]

gg, super value fish . Any going into your affinity?

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

I’ve changed over the huge pearls for some Wakin before the weather gets too cold! There will be an update video soon ❤️

[@florentincioaba7989]

Bravo from Romania Dracula land ❤🎉
