kemst Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I was at an electronic retail shop in Merrylands (West Sydney) today and there was a tank with a mix of fish I never thought possible. 1 Frontosa 2 electric blues (?) 1 fish that looked a bit like an electric yellow but wasn’t (it had a black dorsal and a yellow-ish body with light vertical bands ????) and two large goldfish!!!! Ok. How does this work? All fish were large(ish). The water was kinda green .... I was only in there for a minute (picking something up while they were closing) so I didn't get a great look...I didn't really see a heater... so wussup? If anyone is curious I can let them know where it is (can I name names in general post?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repz Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Well at atlantis aquarium there is a mix of oscars, saratoga jardini, rtcs, koi, flowerhorn hybrids, and other weird stuff hahaha the tank is huge and amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeyBoyR Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 You arent critcising the business in any way, theyre not even an aquarium! You're merely asking why people think those fish would survive together. In other words I doubt there'd be anything terribly threatening about naming the place. Hell, it might even make a couple of forum members stop by to have a look, bringing the shop more would-be customers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wui39 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Goldfish and frontosa don't mix well, I had a few gold fish with a frontosa and the frontosa used them for food before I knew what happened. To make it more interesting, the frontosa basically left all the fry of the Julie pair alone. Kind of makes me wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemst Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Mods...is it ok to name in this instance? If so please let me know. I don't know if a bunch of fish fans popping in from time to time will confuse the hell out of the vendors though In the meantime, I'm going to try and get a pic (if I can get there during office hours again) to post. It really didn't make sense to me...but maybe I saw wrong - or maybe there are some bad boy goldfish looking tropicals out there that I just don't recognise. I'll try get some pictures if I can sometime next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrdog Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I guess it doesn't surprise that they are fine since most freshwater fish are such adaptable creatures. It looks weird though because we just wouldn't mix Goldies and Fronnies. Thanks for the pics, Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6C1 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The fan tail goldie is very nice. But its tail looks shredded. The fronnie probably has a go at it from time to time. The other "cross" methinks is an Electric Yellow. Just a bad one thats all... *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmuncan Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 are those even Electric Blues? lots of black on their anal and pec fins ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scienceman Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The yellow one is definitedly a crappy electric yellow, I have a couple like this or worse that were sold to me by people who should have known better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
