Hello everyone!..It's been awhile. I have a beautiful Tri-colored Female Oranda who's wen has been growing like a weed. I'd like to know if you guys think it's looking good.


Her name is Bella. She spends her time outside in a pond.

looks good to me

Hi Jewels,

The wen looks good, feed her more as she looks thin. A side profile pic will be better

Thank you! She eats 3x's daily..All fresh vegetables, blood-worms, and homemade gel food. This was her about 4 weeks ago before going into Pond. Her colors have changed so much over the past few months. She was treated with Prazi for any internal worms. I will get a updated side pic tomorrow morning of her in the pond.

she's cute, wat a proper name bella! i love the first pic u took of her, it shows her chubby cheeks

Thank You! Yeah, Bella just fit her well When I brought her home her cheeks weren't so bubbly. Good water and excelent foods all help heres a side pic of her this morning after her breakfast. She's starting to fill with eggs again. When I brought her home She had a bacterial infection from egg impaction. Since I'm experienced with handspawing, I helped her release eggs and treated with a broad spec med. I also took a quick pic of Miki, She's my bubble-eye...



and heres Miki..My beautiful calico Bubble-eye..as you can tell she's very full of eggs...

KokiBali I forgot to add to the post. Genetics play a huge role in how goldfish grow. Some are meant to be short and fat long and slim. Believe me they all eat. They eat better than me it seems. My door of my frezzer is dedicated to them..lol I would never dump a bunch of food in just to gain a unhealthy fish..They all eat 3x's daily. fastning on Saturdays. Peas on Sundays. Fish aren't meant to be perfect nothings perfect as a matter of fact. She's perfect in my eyes. Healthy and happy and lives in a huge pond.

Hi Jewels,

Thanks for sharing with us. You have good skill and knowledge in breeding goldfish. From the side profile, the body looks short and thin. Try to feed her more pellets to improve her body.

You are right, genetic plays a huge role.

Thank You I try to stay clear of pellets anymore these days. I do however feed Brown rice which is a great source of protein for them. I do mix up their feeding from day to day. I never feed the same foods in 1 day. I make different kinds of gel foods for them. Protein cubes, veggie, fruit, ect...

You are very lucky to have all the time to feed different food to your fish. You fishes are lucky too . She looks beautiful.

Aww thanks! I know who U are ..LOL Yes, I have time these days..I'm in college but study from home so, I have too much time on my hands. How are ur Ranchus doing?

Mine are eating eating and growing growing

Hi Jewels,

Looks like your good at giving proper care to your goldies....Bella seems to be doing gr8 in your care....I suggest since you have good skills and knowledge in taking care for your goldies....maybe you should try to bring in some higher grade of goldies (thats if you have time & space to accomodate) i sure they will be as rewarding as Bella and fun.

hey jewels just wanted to ask how do u know when the fish have an egg impaction and what can happen if nothing is done about it?? i'm just curiuos as i think maybe that's how one of my ranchu's died... can u tell me more about egg impaction? thanks
oh and the bubble eyes has a great blue base on her... very nice
