Happy mother's day! The only reason we do this is to have an aquarium that makes us smile every time we see it. Those are beautiful fish. The longer I'm in this hobby, the more I appreciate the "simple" fish. Not many people give fish like these the space they deserve to thrive. Loved watching this journey.

I think your stocking choice is an amazing idea! Not only because your grandson chose the fish and gets to watch them grow but because it gives goldfish the value they deserve 👍😀

Lisa, the back story is a true heartwarming one! The selection by Brandon was and is PERFECT! THOSE LITTLE GORGEOUS GOLDFISH LOOK AND ACT LIKE THEY BELONG IN THE HOME! I, like you and John, have always, since I was 14, saved as many of these "feeder fish" along the 50 years of fish keeping, and I still do! About 15 of them are in my pond, and they have grown to be massive!! Thank you for everything you do, and I love this tank!!! Happy Mother's Day Lisa and John!

Being a grandma myself to little ones, sharing your tank with your grandson melts my heart! It helps that I'm a goldfish fanatic too. So many people are turned off by these beauties, that's OK too. Goldfish aren't for everyone. But they are for us goldie lovers! Enjoy for years to come!

I love this! I used to work in a pet store and hated that we sold feeder fish and I used to catch special ones for people if they wanted them. We also had a huge tank that we kept "special" fish in. If something would come in with scoliosis or only had one eye or was disfigured in some way we added them to that tank when possible so that they could live out their life with us and that is still one of my favorite tanks. Fish don't have to be expensive or perfect to be worthy.

I just looooove to see people building lovely tanks for common goldfish. Most of these fish end up in a 10 gallon with another five or, obviously, being fed to bigger fish. I constantly look for goldfish tank ideas and all I see are those lab-looking tanks with fancy goldfish, like only the expensive ones are beautiful and deserving of a good tank. Thank you for this.
@wilbee62725 ай бұрын
Fantastic decision. There will be thousands of people who fell in love with this hobby due to the first time they saw a goldfish or similar. I remember being fascinated by seeing a Black Moor as a young child. When there are literally hundreds of types of manufactured food available then feeder fish are just wrong. Giving any fish such an amazing home is wonderful but to give these fish such a life is awesome. Anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't understand what this hobby is meant to be about♥

I'm not disappointed at all by the choice. Those goldfish are beautiful, the space is adequate for them, and they like their owns' company, thus a group of five is absolutely perfect in a 300 gallons (about 1,200 litres in metric). That's the aquarium they deserve, absolutely excellent livestock choice.
