Gill Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This is no ordinary goldfish, well actually it is. LOL. This goldfish is a giant though and he comes with a glass 29 gallon stand light and filter. This goldfish has been in my family for 12 years. My wife saved him from my piranha back in high school. LOL For the last 4 years he lived at my parents house, but they are moving to the east coast at the end of august and I have too many tanks already. I will get pics up ASAP. I'm really just looking for a good home for him but since this is the classifieds he will cost $1.00. If you have a nice pond you can keep/resell the tank.

luv951 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you change your mind - I have a 40,000 gallon pond at my house that he would do quite nicely in. Its 50ft. in diameter and about 3 feet deep. Lots of plant and cover. We have a couple hundred goldfish in there now, so he would be right at home.

luv951 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Actually its a bit more, but hard to say. At 50ft across (confirmed), and assuming 3ft of depth, I get 5,890 cubic feet....at 7.5 gallons per cubic foot, I am at around 44,000 gallons. But, I know its deeper than 3 ft. None of us have ventured in to the middle, but just 10ft in, it was already to my son's belly button and he is 5ft. tall. ohh, and we are on five acres...got a pond and a creek - very nice setup. I'll try to post some pics. 40' date='000?!? What the what the?!?!?!?[/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
