ok i was bad and went to wallmart for the first one. i NEVER buy fish at nnnnnn but these ones looked really nice they were all swimming happily and had no visible sighns of disease and i really liked one so i got him. he is just a fantail gf but i like his coloring and i gave him a salt dip to get rid of the disease i couldnt see he is doing really well and i am keeping an eye on him for any problems so i can get rid of them before it spreads anyway here he is:they are a little blurry

i also saw this adorable little pearlscale it was sooooo cute if i had enough room i would have taken it the only room i have is in my pond and i dont think pearlscales can live in ponds can they? if they could i would have gotton it please let me know if they can but i didnt think they could.
well what do you think? i dont have names for them yet so i am open for suggestions thanks alot

I got almost all my fish there biggrin.gif they had such a cute oranda there today, I really wanted it, I could have kept it in a tub, cause it looked to me like it was permanently stunted, it was only 4-5 inches including tail, but it was just the cutest little thing, urs look great exactly.gif

thnaks and the rubbermaid tub was what i gave him a saltbath in they are living in a pond about 200 g maybe a little less i thought of names for them so here they are th ecalico is going to be called freckles and the lionhead is going to be called cheeto b/c he is all fluffy and orange like a cheeto i also found names for the other ones too. and i know not all fish from nnnnnn are bad but sometimes it is hard to tell b/c i have seen some pretty bad looking tanks at times.

the lionhead wasnt from wall mart the fantail was the lionhead was froma petstore.sorry for the confusion but our nnnnnn does sell lionheads sometimes i have 3 commons/commets and 2 fancy gf soom to be 3 b/c i am going to get a pearlscale today if the petstore still has it. wish me luck i hope they do i called the store this morning and had to take about 5 min. to explain to him what a pearlscale was i was like "do you have that pearlscale left from yesterday" and was like "what?" and that went on for 5 minutes he finally came back after what seemed like forever and said "no" but since he still didnt sound like he knew what one was he might have just left and said no also there was only one left yesterday and i thought it was gone b/c he was swimming behind this huge plant in the tank so maybe the guy just didnt see it plus i can always look at the other stores to see if they have any well anyway wish me luck
