pearlscale goldfish questions and help request
Hello All! This is my first time here!
As a retirement project my husband and I will be building an indoor pond in the kitchen which should be 10' x 6' x 2' to house oxygenating plants, ryukins, orandas, fantails and pearlscale goldfish. In the pet stores where I live the quality of most of the goldfish is "barely" ok. But the pearlscales (my favorites!!!) are not even up to that! Short of importing directly are there ANY breeders here in the USA that are producing quality pearlscales? ANYBODY??? I have found a whole four places that carry pearlscale goldfish regularly where I can drive a few hours to examine them prior to choosing rather than sight unseen over the web. I am considering it lucky when I find mostly undamaged ones which of course only have one anal tail or only "some" flat scales instead of completely pearled. Is anyone specialty breeding for pearlscales with the longer finnage? (and is this called Phoenix tailed, veiltail or broadtail for pearlscales?) These are my absolute favorite!!!!! Are there websites where goldfish potential buyers go to "split" an order if necessary to order from China? I know I would not have the facilities required for a full order. How could I get a translator to make it clear they are strictly for personal enjoyment not competition? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Really!!! Thanks!! Lisa in NJ (I just am not interested in the quality levels of pearlscale goldfish seen nearby in NJ and PA except for 4 extraordinary stores all of which are 2-2 1/2 hours away from where I live and NONE of them have the pearlscales with the longer fins as seen while drooling at Chinese websites!!!) I hope this doesn't seem inflammatory, it is so frustrating and sad to not have access to the quality level I want at home!!! |
