Creamsicle

We would like to introduce those of you who can't visit our home to our baby girl, Creamsicle the comet goldfish. We brought her home a year and a half ago from a friend's booth at a UCR fair.

 

Back then she was about 1/4 her current size, but as a comet she can get up to 22 inches and live up to 30 years! Needless to say she outgrew her 10 gallon home this year, and we bought her and her danio buddies a 29 gallon tank.

She is the prettiest goldfish we have ever known, and gets compliments whenever she's seen. She's a little fatty, who gets ecstatic when anyone approaches her tank in the hopes they'll feed her. She can be finger fed, and is currently having fun gobbling up the tank's new (expensive) plants.  Still, we love our big girl, and hope to put her in a pond someday when we have a home. Look at that face- how can you not love her?
