Sunshine, Skye and Siew Mai

My tank had been in critical condition for the last couple of weeks from the high level of nitrite and nitrate threat but finally it stabilises itself and so I decided to introduce more fish to the tank. I went to Manly last Saturday and hopefully I can get a few more goldfish for the tank but there wasn't anything that tickle my fancy. So today I decided to go for the long drive all the way to Canley Vale again to check out whether they have better stock. I went to the shop where I got my fish tank and 2 goldfish (Tango & Sebastien) from again, I reckond they are the most professional goldfish breeder so far.

They always have so nice and goldfish swimming around in the tank but they are like $100 each! But I prefer to get small one and let them grow that way I got more satisfaction out of this hobby. This time I've bought 3: 2 Celestial Goldfish and 1 Ranchu. The Celestials are just too weird, they have bulky eyes and looking upward and with 2 big pom pom on the tip of their head! Too cute to resist so I got 2 and named them Sunshine and Skye. I know is gonna be a challenge to have them since they cant see properly and I already noticed they keep bumping to the glass and other goldfish in the tank...LOOK OUT!!! But they are too cute. :P And I always wanted a Ranchu, so I picked a white body with Red fro Ranchu and I named it Siew Mai. Just like the Siew Mai dim sim. white dumpling with a red dot on top. He gets along well with others straight away and fighting for food already. I am still worry about that 2 celestial as they can't swim up high to fight for food, so I just crushed some green peas and they sunk to the bottom so Sunshine and Skye can have their share.

That celestial is so cute, have not seen those before.
That siew mai more like a lion head instead of ranchu.
