i was thinking this as well. would be cool to have a goofy pair of goldies
how big do these types get? what size tank do you have them in? i have had an empty 75 sitting around for at least a year taking up space in my bedroom lol. i think its getting to be the time where i fill that void

A 75 would be great for a pair of fancies. Fancies can get up to 10" body length, so a big tank like that would be perfect.

Beautiful Goldfish!
Goldfish were my first fish obsession ever since I was a kid. In a lot of ways the puffers and goldfish have a lot in common in regards to personality and intelligence (despite the common myths surrounding goldfish) which is why I think I have become so drawn to the puffers as well.

It doesn't look like they are. I do have 3 sailfin mollies who look to be picking at them.
