    Hey everyone! I'm new to this site and would love to share my Goldies with you:) These guys live in a nice big pond during our warm months and come inside for the Winter because here In Florida, The weather can be harsh on them from too many temp changes. Today was their Summer check-up and I decided to snap pixs while I was checking them over to make sure their all disease and parasite free.[​IMG][​IMG]
    The next one is from a spawning earlier this yr.. She/he will stay with us. The others are in need of new homes.[​IMG]
    Here are my orandas[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Welcome to 3reef.
    Nice looking livestock. Always wanted a pond outside the house but settled with a large display tank in the house instead.

    Thank you;) I use to keep them indoors myself. I decided the outdoors would spice their colors up nicely. The pond does get netted during night hrs... we have some very sneaky creatures here:disappoin

    (Koi)Pond;) Well as cool as it seems it's hard work. We have 2 ponds 1 is for Koi the other is for the GF. Koi require more room so you would need atleast a 1,000 g pond for 1 koi.:)

    Nice Oranda's! We imported some Koi's the other day 2-3 feet in length for a customer... The retail cost with shipping was $15,000 EACH. They ordered 5 for a 3,000g outdoor display.

    Very cool setup, wish I could do something like that here but simply no room inside for another tank and the winters here in oklahoma are brutal so no ponds with livestock for me :(
