My current fish...some pics

[Chickerdoodle13]

Well, since we were talking about fish in the other thread, I figured I would make a separate one so I could show off the ones I already have at home!

These two ones I got free from a girl who wanted to change her fishtank into one for smaller fish. She must have taken good care of these guys though! They are huge!

The Orange one:

The White one (Not a great photo, but I couldn't upload the other for some reason)

The Comet I bought from Walmart (I've had him for three years now)

My whole barrel pond set up:

Very nice little pond you have there. I have a pond and a fish tank, lol.

Chickerdoodle, don't they need a bubbler thingy for air bubbles? Interesting!

Fish don't "need" bubbler things for oxygen exchange. Really, bubblers move water and cause currents and the majority of oxygen exchange occurs at the surface. If there are not too many fish in the water vs surface area, there is no need for a bubbler!

Cute little fishies.

Yeah, everybody always asks how they can live without a filter, but as long as I don't add too many fish it does pretty well. I've probably had it for over three years and these fish have done the best. To clean it, I just stick the hose in it and let the water overflow until it is clear. I did have a bit of a problem with algae this year, but if it happens again, I'll stick some snails in there. For awhile I couldn't even see the fish! LOL Now they are in my garage in a large plastic tub so the water doesn't freeze. I'm going to add in the other two fish next weekend, but I'm not sure I'll keep them in there. They might end up in a friend's pond. I don't want them to be overcrowded.

Thanks for the comments everybody! ...And no, they don't have names, so feel free to suggest some!
