More additions *LOL*
I'd advertised online for tanks and such , minor leaks ok.......anyway
A lady emails me and tells me she has a tank and a couple of goldfish that if noone takes em she's gonna flush them down the loo.  I was a bit stunned that someone would flush them, not to mention its very illegal to do
Soooo...guess what i picked up on my way home from work tonight *L*
Anyway they are settling into the 4ft tank, a big difference from the small tank they were in. I was expecting small/medium fish....and they are huge *L*
With a bit of TLC they should show better colour and finnage....looking a bit poorly at present as the tank they were in was very dirty, and far too small for fish this size (around 2ft long by the look of it)
Here's some pics

It's just them looking at the danios that got short shifted to a plastic bag that is floating in the tank (i'll set them up a nice new home tomorrow)*LOL*
Hopefully the goldies will be too busy enjoying the room to move and explore that they wont give then too much grief in there

Those fish are so beautiful. I can't believe she would flush them!!!!  The tank is very nice looking too. In my former life we raised Oscars. Those fish never let you have a pretty tank.  |

Sharni,
I'm sure this is silly, but they look OK to me. Should they have larger fins? Is that what finnage means?

Of course not...they live in garbage cans. 
Sharni ~ Beautiful fish! And their new home is lovely too.
Can you please make sure your naked reflection is visible in future pictures?

Damn big fish too! That'd be a service call to the plumber for sure.

If all else fails, we can have a forum-wide competition for the best way to fillet them.
Would you like fries with that, sir?
