I like the orandas because of their wen, but it kind of looks like a brain so it might not be the best idea for impressing a family (who sounds hard to impress lol). I keep an oranda, a pinkie, and a black moor. I agree with you, fantails are great as a pet. HI there! It made me so happy to see your post. I'm guessing the practices for keeping Goldies might be a bit different. I've found a good rhythm for keeping beginner tropical fish. (3) What are the practices I need to change? I believe I am limited to a single Goldfish, but can I have some larger cold water minnows, or anything else? (2) Are there any other fish I can keep w/ it? My research says Fantails & Ryukin would be good options. (1) What Goldie do you recommend (for a somewhat beginner w/ a 20 gallon tall) ? So Goldfish is my next best idea.Ī few questions (if you don't feel like answering all of them please answer anything you're willing to): I can't afford that hobby, nor do I feel I'm experienced enough. I'd like to get a fish that grows big enough (and attractive enough) for my family to appreciate (they're not impressed with any of the tropical fish I've tried this past year - gouramis, glofish, mollies, platies, rasboras, tetras, betta, otos, shrimp, snails, loaches, cories.). I have a 20 gallon tall w/ two AquaClear 30 filters. I've been fish keeping for 12 months and I'm considering starting over and getting a goldfish.
