Description
I got both online from Goldfish Island. The adoption fee is $15 each.
1. Yuan Bao -- Basically a Ranchu with a dorsal fin. Is blue and should stay that dark color instead of turning orange like most black goldfish do. Not sure the gender but I suspect they're a girl. She's very derpy and gentle.

2. Thai Oranda -- Like a normal Oranda but has a fluffier wen that goes around its entire head and has a much bigger tail. I can send swimming videos upon request (can't figure out how to post them here). They're a boy. Very spunky and a fast swimmer.

Both are very healthy and don't have any swim bladder problems. My biggest concern is about these guys going to a good home. The pair need at least a 40 gallon breeder with a hefty filter. I also recommend getting a heater. I keep mine at 77 degrees to help with their digestion. They're on a varied diet of high quality pellets, blood worms and veggies.
If you're looking to get into goldfish keeping Petco is having their 50% tank sale as of today and I can trade some filter media with you to cycle the tank. I'm also willing to add in a cycled sponge filter with 60 gallon capacity (air pump not included).
I work in the fish department of Petsmart and can answer any care questions to the best of my ability. Rehoming them because I naively thought I could handle an overstocked tank. I currently have 6 in a 55 gallon and while I've managed to 0 out the Ammonia, Nitrates and Nitrites, they're depleting the minerals in the water too quickly and lowering the PH.
