Fancy Goldfish Pictures

Is their a ratio male to female fancys in the same tank that I should follow for raising fancy goldfish? Once I sell out my cichlids I'm going to go select fish for my 135 gallon and live plants, anyone have floating water lettuce at the surface of the water

All male would be best. Reason is females get stressed by males chasing them or because they never release their eggs. At least that's my experience. I have found a balance with males and females in my tank but lost a few females along the way.

One of my ryukins. I'd like to get more fancys someday.

Okay, to start, all of these pictures are over a year old now. The first picture is of my bronze Wakin goldfish right after he died, I don't know what exactly happened to him but he died in my hands in the tank. The white Ranchu female you'll see is also no longer alive, she was killed by a large pleco. The common I brought in to my local fish store since I'm not that interested in those types. Finally, the small red and white Ryukin male is still with me and in a 55 gallon pond, he's gone all white since these pictures were taken but I think that's because he was in a heated tank for a while. He's significantly larger and still well formed but I haven't taken really any pictures of my fish in a while. I'll be trying to get more recent pictures of my setup, since I have obrained many more goldies after these guys where gone.

Some of these guys were originally purchased for turtle food. The turtle lives inside for the past 11 years.

My high quality top-view thai ranchus, they cost me $250 a piece. Hoping to be able to breed them.

Recently got into fancy goldfish after years of keeping cichlids (which I still do). I really cant believe no one had any new pics to post since the last one in 2019... Where are all the goldfish keepers at? lol

A pic of my recently acquired Panda Yuan Bao oranda

An older pic of one of my goldie tanks, a 90g with a couple of my fish in it. I also have a 65B with goldies

Hopefully this will encourage others to admit they keep goldfish and post some new pics!

Another pic to add, the big guy is my golden (gold coin) Yuan Bao oranda, and the smaller are my red and white lionchu
