I really like these, and think that many people don’t appreciate them until they see them in person.  They really stand out in a tank or pond with their bright orange pompoms.  Nice ones have been hard to get in recent years, but I was lucky to get this very nice group.  Super active and exceptionally hardy since import.  This one is a little lighter in color than most, with a bright metallic finish that catches the eye.

 

This color is rare to find on any variety of goldfish.  It’s really different than typical orange fish and really stands out.  I was lucky to get a group of these, and they’ve proved to be excellent fish….super hardy, and extremely active and responsive.  This one is very nice and richer in color than most.  Just a couple of these left.

SUPER GOLD is here!!!  I’ve been dreaming about this for decades!  After years of research, and months of trials, my new food is finally ready for sale.  Unhappy with most of the “goldfish food” I’ve tried over the years, I knew there had to be a better solution for these fish.  Unfortunately, most products are made of what I call “economy” ingredients.  Some are hard to even define….like “fish meal”.  After much study, I’ve found that fish meal can include left over parts of the fish, including bones, scales and even guts.  I asked several people about this, and no one could tell me exactly what was in it, or even what species of fish (much like “hotdogs”…what the heck is in there???), so I crossed that off my list immediately.  Additionally, many other cheap ingredients simply are not that great for Goldfish.   Also, most foods are totally dry, and not ideal for digestion in Goldfish, causing potential problems with balance/buoyancy after eating and even constipation.  I’ve experimented with many homemade formulas, with emphasis on gel foods for excellent digestion and assimilation.   I wanted my food to include the highest quality ingredients, and a wide-spectrum of them, to provide a complete nutrition.  As you know, I’ve been advocating Soilent Green for my fish, as that’s the best thing I’ve used in my nearly 50 years in the hobby.  Still, I kept experimenting with additional ingredients, always looking to make the food even better.  I’ve also consulted with many people in the hobby, including top Goldfish experts in China, to get their thoughts on target nutritional specs, and recommended ingredients.  I finally approached Allen Repashy about this idea over two years ago, and then met with him to work out the final formula last winter.  Repashy has 40 different and unique formulas for all kinds of animals, and Allen was able to offer lots of additional expert advice regarding the advantages of various ingredients.  It would have been easy to make this just another “economy” food, but I told him I was more interested in making it the Best Food.  Building the formula, it became obvious that the high levels of Quality Ingredients, including Krill, Black Soldier Fly, Squid, Chlorella, Spirulina, and many others were going to make this more expensive to produce than Soilent Green, but again I was more interested in the quality of the food than the cost.  Since most of these Goldfish are expensive to begin with, I think it makes no sense to cut costs by giving them a poor diet.  Given their mutations, Goldfish are inherently weak animals, and have problems just digesting food, so they need all the help they can get!  So, with the cost of the ingredients, SUPER GOLD will retail at the higher pricing tier for Repashy products than SOILENT GREEN, but I feel that it will be well worth it.

I brought in several nice wakin last Fall.  They’ve been exceptionally hardy and active fish.  Spring is coming, so here’s 3 for one price.

While I usually specialize in fancies, I sometimes see nice pond fish available.  I was lucky to get some of these last Fall, but there are only 3 left from the batch.   This one is quite large, with rich dark color.   Very powerful fish, and extremely responsive when approached.

 

Vivid color on this spunky young short-tail.

I especially like these.  They really stand out in a tank or pond with their large orange pompoms.   These have been hard to get in recent years, especially in nice quality.  This one is nice overall, with excellent motion and balance.

Just two of these left from my Fall shipment.  This is my favorite.  Striking color on this nice overall young oranda.

Long tail on this one with vivid color.

Just a few of these left from last Summer’s shipment.  After being here for many months, they’ve all become extremely responsive and friendly when I approach the tank.  This is one of my favorites, with long tail and lots of personality.

Large stocky fish with nice meaty head.

Imported last Summer, this has been a great batch of pearlscales….very hardy and trouble-free.  This is one of the last few available.  Fat fish with nice scales.

Very pretty color, including subtle blues on this hard to find eggfish.

ONLY longtail ranchu available.  Very pretty sakura color/finish, plus smooth rounded back and showy tail on this hard to find variety.

Stocky oranda with big meaty tancho head.   Great fish, with nice motion and balance.

Just a couple of these left, and this is my favorite.  Pics don’t do this large telescope justice.  Dark black color, long tail, with nice overall profile and eyes.

Large stocky butterfly with beautiful showy fins.  Great overall fish.

 

Only one available.  Extremely active and responsive.  Lovely fish in nacreous finish and unique lemony color.

Eye-catching color on this one.  Powerful, sturdy fish with nice motion and balance.
