M-M-M-MY SHUBUNKIN

[RD.]

Since i last posted in this thread ive become very familiar with a metal subgenre apparently known as "blackgaze". Funny thing though, i was telling all my coworkers about how much i like blackgaze and they kept giving me strange looks.

And when i tried to show them the video some of them got really weird on me and stormed off.

To answer your question, most goldfish breeders and fish breeders in general will put just enough water to cover the fish, because more water does not necessarily equate to more oxygen. More often than not, they will leave most of the room in the bag filled with air so there is more air to dizzolve into the water therefore equating to more oxygen for the fish. Hope this helps!

That would sound right but the bag was completely flattened, no air at all. I wish I took a picture but I got them out of the bag as fast as possible.

After listening to that, I’m afraid to close my eyes when I go to sleep. Lol

Pretty odd about the shipping bags, sounds like amateur hour. Air must have escaped en route?

agreed, that was probably just negligence or a issue that occured during shipping

Maybe a little AC/DC?

Sounds like you were lucky; with the bag flattened out they would not have lasted long.

I figured he chose the top of the tank to charge his batteries so any excess heat will be absorbed into the water and not wasted

The charger permanently sits on the boombox right next to the tank where the other battery is. Yall are relentless lol.

I had a couple other curiosities maybe yall can straighten out:

These were sold as "longfin fancy shubunkin". I know not the differences between bristol, longfin, london, etc. Would my fish just be a hybrid of american shubunkin and some other fancy?

I keep these at room temperature, 65-70F, slightly higher when the batterys charging and they are super active, much more boisterous than i expected for a fancy type goldie. What are the limits for keeping these fish long term? Could i keep them comfortably in my tropical tank at 75-78F? And how would they fare in a community with other mid-large cyprinids like balas, tinfoils, etc.?
