Anyone keep Fancy Goldfish?

[labmad]

Does anyone keep these fish, or is everyone on tropicals and marines

I want to get some for my juwel rio 180 tank which i have just converted from tropical to coldwater........just need to find a few nice fish now

If you keep them any chance of some pics please......not sure what to go for...i guess its what is the local shops........

PS - does anyone have success with real plants in the coldwater tanks, or do the fish just devour them

cheers

I have fancy goldfish, my fave fish actually. All mine are twin tails, not sure what breeds otherwise. One has no scales, one that's like a balloon, 2 normal orange twin tails and one very beautiful white/pink twin tail with red eyes. Anyone can help with the names of these fish, I'd be very grateful!

my sis keeps em she has a white on with various markings like abit of red and had a normal one but it died and she also has a black one

Mine's a pure white one, not like shubunkin patterns at all. The black one will probably be a Moor. I think my scale-less one might be a calcio, not sure though.

I have five tropical tanks and one coldwater tank containing a Black Moor, an Orange & White Fantail and two White Cloud Mountain Minnows out of an original ten. I think the goldfish ate them...

They're pretty! I definitely prefer goldfish, I might even convert one of my trop tanks aswell...

I do like the way they "shimmy" around the tank...

I find them more graceful than trops... With their big flowing tails... I love them All mine have names, it's sad I know.

My Fantail is Fanta Fizz and the Black Moor is Coco Bubbles...

Nice pic matey

I like fantails and will prob get some........cant decide if i like Pearlscales, I know they can be prone to swimbladder probs and you have to watch the temps etc........the ones i dont like and have gone too far for me are things like the celestials and buble-eyes, not my bag i'm afraid

Anyone have sucess with real plants or do you all stick with fake ones? dont wanna pay for real ones if they're gonna be shredded with a day or 3
