The Goldfish Council

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!

Actually, from being in there even for the night he seems better, more active and less white stuff showing, (does not look like what I would call a fungus, but who knows), actually looks like waterspots when they dry on the outside of the tank..maybe that will help anyone.

Going to be doing a major cleaning of the main tank (50Gl) to make sure nobody else gets sick, though none of them are showing any signs of illness at all, better safe than sorry.. don't have enough hospital tanks if they all do get sick!

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

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
