So I got home yesterday and it turns out that I am not the proud grandma of several goldfish babies.

I know they had spawned in the main tank but did not realise that some of the eggs had got stuck on some of the plants so long embarrassing story short I have baby fish.

Help is needed please.


I have managed to get them in to a separate tank currently with no filter at the moment as all the ones I own are to powerful for them. But I am performing regular water changes with water from the main tank which is well established and healthy.

Food wise I have ordered some liquid stuff that should be here soon but I am at a loss as to what I should be feeding. I am hoping to just be able to use regular food but ground up so it is small enough for them to eat when they are ready.

Not sure if this is needed but the parents are a female Shubunkin and the father is either a common goldfish or a comet. They are all aged 7 or so and are just a bit longer than an a5 piece of paper. I am certain these are the parents and not a combination of the three Ryukin in there with them. ( please no comments about mixing single tail and fancy fish together they get on fine and the fancies always get to the food first  ).

So my question has anyone any experience with baby gold fish I think I am gonna need all the advice I can get.

It has being a while since I bought new ponies never mind put up a brag thread.

So I have treat my self to two new G4 well fakies but I do  like this pose

They are all just so cute

I have a few bits on eBay right now. I only ship to uk only on there. But will have some others later on to sell on here and will ship,to other countries then.

Sold ponies

Sorry to be a pain but is there another way to post pictures on the site given everything that is going on with photobucket.

I am not very web savvy when it comes to stuff like this to be honest and affer reading other topics it just confused me further. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

So I have decided that I need to have a good look through and see who in my collection needs to stay and who would be better moving off to a new home. But in the process I have also decided to clean all of the ones up that I am going to keep and finally get them displayed instead of sitting in boxes in the dark. this is something that is going to take me a while to do so I thought I would start a thread so that I can keep track of where I am up to. (and if anyone else is interested they can have a look at the progress of it all) it is going to be a slow job as I need to clear room in the attic at the same time so I can get to the shelves to put them out on. so anyway on to the pictures:

Shelf 1: (I have put a close up under the spoiler)

Shelf three: (I have put a close up under the spoiler) these are all of the girls that  have being found "in the wild" as it would be in some form or another. the pink and purple gradient bodied one I found in a market in Spain in the most disgusting condition she was on a dog charity stall so I gave them a few euros for her (over the odds but I love dogs) and she actually cleaned up a real treat. all these are in quite bad condition but I think it is more the achievement of finding them that makes me keep them

top shelf: these are not exactly ponies but they are still horses of some type and I think they go just nicely on the top. they are my enchanted kingdom horses only a small collection but they are sweet the girl with the pink crown is mine from child hood. I lost that crown for many years and it turned up just as we were moving I was so pleased to see it again

and they share a shelf with my matchbox carousel I had a very small collection of the horses but them my boyfriend bought me the actual carousel for Christmas this year to replace the one that my parents sold all them years ago it is not in perfect condition but it was in bits and broken when it came and he fixed it up so making it even more special to me.

MOC: none of them are exactly rare or expensive but the beam is the perfect place for them to hang and not get damaged they were getting battered in the moving boxes they travelled in from the old house. you can see that this side of the attic also doubles as storage for my horses show gear and spare riding pads and rugs they have more belongings that I do I think

Full View: everything so far all them pink boxes are the rest I need to go through  not looking forward to it and please excuse the rocking horses head in the bottom corner something else I cannot bring my self to sell I have had her that long.

Spanish totsie (spelt wrong sorry) I am in the middle of getting her ready to be sent away for a rehear as hers was well beyond repair (and mostly gone anyway) to be honest i paid £3 for her so not exactly a hardship. I know she is a little scruffy at the moment but she did not want to miss the photo shoot

Does any one know were I can get a complete list of all of the G4 brushables from. I used to use strawberry reef but is is not upto date.

I am trying to update my wish list and make a bit of a file of who I already have but have forgotten the names of many of then as it has being that long since I bought them.

Any help would be much appreciated I am not a main 6 collector as it would be and for some reason their names will not stay in my head (unlike g1s that I have no problems with haha)

Thank you
