graphicpunk's tanks

[graphicpunk]

So I have been spending most of my time on the "Getting Started" threads and now I am almost ready to start my showcase thread. I currently have two 20 gallon tanks set up in my insulated garage and a 50 or 55 gallon tank set up in my office. In the summer I have about a 120gallon pond that came with the house so the goldfish live out there for 6 months out of the year. I am just a plain old goldfish guy because they are the easiest fish to care for or so I have been told.

Anyway on to the tanks.
Here is my 50/55 gallon tank which I recently added a couple goldfish to from the pond

Here are the fish that occupy this tank for now:

And here is a short video I took of them at feeding time tonight

Sorry I dont know how to embed on this forum yet. Hopefully that link works.

And here are my 20 gallon tanks currently cycling:

That is it for now. I will have more updates this weekend as I move the bigger goldfish from the pond.

I like the rocks and the bamboo in the 20 gallon a lot!
Nice goldies as well. Mine stay outside all year. I kind of wish we had to bring them in for the winter, just because they're so pretty.

Yeah I have to bring my goldies in before winter because I have no way of keeping them from dying out there. I do however want to make a home for them out there some summer. They quadruple their size in one summer and it would be cool to get one to grow over 10 inches

I have more of that rock I want to put in my 50/55 gallon I just need to convince my wife to put sand in it as well. I have plans for the 50/55 tank and I will post them on this thread. I really can't wait to get the "big" goldfish in that tank and move the other ones out to the smaller tanks. I think I am going to try to officially measure the big ones to see what size they actually are. I would say they have to be close to 8"s.

Added a third goldfish to the 50/55 gallon tank tonight. Much bigger than I expected. He is roughly 6"s and has a real nice big tail:

This isn't even my biggest one. The big one has to be much bigger than this guy. Can't wait to get him out of the pond and into the tank!
