Ryukin Without a Name
Haven’t a name for this fish yet. I’ve had such horrible luck with Ryukin’s over the years and am now a bit afraid to get attached to the little guy. Since I’ve got him a few weeks ago he has certainly grown. I’ve heard folks say they wish their fish would grow. Mine always grow and mighty fast at that. Finally I’ve learned how to feed them and I have a tank which is cycled. Maybe I will have better luck raising this fish. Anybody have any suggestions of what I could name this guy?

It is amazing how raising goldfish can affect your life. There is so much to learn from these aquatic creatures. First and foremost is learning how to care for them. However, what I have found fascinating are the people I meet either on-line or in real life when I discuss goldfish. Either red flags quickly rise or an understanding look arise when a fellow nearly 60 years old starts talking about goldfish. Usually men will start Heeing and Hawing as I bring up my interest in goldfish. Then they will start discussing how many fish they can catch and clean in a days time, sort of an Alpha thing. As my conversation deepens as I discuss matters such as Wen growth, water conditions, life spans, expense, details and upkeep, photos, and meeting wonderful folks of like interest, these Alpha men start responding and taking interest. They relate with things they like to do and what brings comfort to them. After discussing goldfish over the years and sharing photos with these men, they tend to understand where I’m coming from and begin to accept me for the goldfish lover I am.
Women tend to be more understanding as a white haired fellow discusses the life of a goldfish. Well, some consider me a quack and move away quickly.
