My Fish: Then and Now

I've been super busy and haven't had the chance to update this blog recently; Sorry, folks!

Here are some photos of the growth of my fish. Some have gotten big, and others haven't noticeable grown.

Autumn, Jewel, and Willow are mature adults and have not grown any.

In my last post I had three tanks (a 20, 36, & 45 gallon).  I purchased a 56 gal. Column Aquarium and put my 20 in storage (aka my closet).  After three weeks, I simply did not have the time to keep up the maintenance on all three tanks. My sinks don't work with water changers which means that I have to use the old bucket method and this is extremely time consuming. Unfortunately, I made the hard decision to get rid of my 56 gal. aquarium and focus on keeping a good maintenance schedule on my two remaining aquariums. This meant that I had to re-home Jack, Reaper, Ember, Gucci, and Deville. This was an extremely difficult decision as I love my goldfish but I felt that it was best given my hectic schedule to down size. I currently have nine fish total spread amongst two tanks (a 36 gal. and a 45 gal .). I know that as my fish continue to grow I will have an overstocking issue and will need to consider upgrading one of existing tanks to a larger size or rehoming some.
