Any news yet? Are they still open for business?

The site administrator was also the same person who ran Goldfish Paradise. Needless to say, he got out of keeping goldfish and now both sites are down. You can try Goldfish Keepers at http://www.goldfishkeepers.com/ There are members from all over the world. Unfortunately, we don't have a 'real' goldfish society in Canada. As for the Canakin project, unfortunately I'm probably the only person that is still working on it. I have already produced a few fish with a maple leaf like tail. I just need to permanently 'fix' the tail. Cheers! Ted

The white spots and slime are a sign that the fish is producing exces mucus to fight off parasites. TT

In the past 4 years I have ordered 10 custom tanks from Golds and I highly recommend them.

I've ordered pond equipment from them and would order from them again. They are great to deal with.

I'm heading down to the U.S (Ohio) and am thinking about bringing some fancy goldfish to some friends of mine. Does anyone know what the rules/regulations are for this? Has anyone done this before? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hosstile and Vantage, thanks for the info.

Does anyone have any pond plants for sale? Looking for pretty much anything. Thanks. Ted
