Dancing Matt Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I was moving a golden male to a pond and his (short) fins were flared out. It was so cool I had to show my wife. White clouds really are neat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Gorgeous fish! I agree with @BM3, it does look like a flying fish from above! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Those are so cool! Are they plenty hardy enough to keep in a pond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often thought it'd be cool to have little koi look-alikes in a pond. I assumed that if I ever did that, I'd have to stick with something like splotchy-colored platies. These fish are next level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Those are some amazing white clouds. 😍 I have some 24k ones and I love them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Very pretty! They would look great in a shallow pond style tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 @CalmedByFishcertainly some ricefish give you that almost koi look. Agree on the platys. Those yellow fins with with red and greys - rad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how little you want to go, you could do comets or Shubunkin gold fish as "koi-look-alikes". I bought some feeder goldfish early on (in my fish keeping journey) and a few turned out to have longer fins (comets?) and fun patterning looking a lot like koi (at least for now, I guess their coloring could change).

Thanks for the idea. When I'm finally able to get a pond, it'll have to be small, and I'd like a species that can reproduce itself so I don't have to anticipate needing to quarantine newbies. I'm thinking something like medaka for their ease of reproduction and hardiness. There's a slight chance I'd do a less-small fish like platies, but I'd have to think more about temperature... and I don't like *having* to think. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the longfin I have pleco and guppy longfins those are the only ones I ever had longfin and the fins beg to have issues. I would not do longfins again but those are som really beautiful fish you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewzero1 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Wow! Those top view pictures are stunning! I've been keeping plain white clouds around a year and a half and have recently been contemplating adding some longfins into the mix. Pushing me closer to a decision, I think. Would love to see some side views of your coloration too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
