So I'm totally a cichlid girl through and through, and mainly large, aggressive CA cichlids at that. Secondly I'm a betta girl, just wrapped up a few years of breeding koi plakats to focus on my cichlids again. But...I also have this massive soft spot for goldfish lol. Dopey, adorable old fantail and comet goldfish. Every now and then over the years I get into a goldfish phase again, and I'm currently in one. I had a 40 long open up after moving my cutteri to the 8ft tank, and this tank is in my living room (the only one that is) so I sit and look at it every day. I was tired of dealing with angry bloody cichlids doing nothing but harassing each other and wanted a happy, never have a disagreement, colourful fish. So I began my next goldfish phase and put three small calico fantails in the tank, as my long-term stock once they grew up. Well, then I saw a specific sarasa comet at Petsmart a month or two later and HAD to have him - thus ending being able to keep them in the 40 for long ? So about a month ago I cleared out my 6ft, 135gal tank and moved them in. Who knows how long it'll last this time before I decide I need the big tank for some angry must live alone CA cichlid again, but for the moment I wuvs these guys lol.
