Dropped into living ponds the other day for a squizz. Took some pics which I share here. It's all goldfish and koi, but they are rather pretty nonetheless.

 

A bronze comet. I think this is the  fish they derived all the other goldfish from

An orange one. I know nothing about carp, really.

Awww! Purty! Extra shiny super frilly goldfish

I understand that people intentionally breed these guys to odd shapes, and this might be highly desirable to a collector, but to me this fish is called "Kill me please"

This huge tank has belonged to  a few PCS members over time. Does anyone recognise it in its new incarnation?

Here's a closer shot if you need it...:)

It was always such an ugly duckling, this tank. Darian has done good things with it now.

 

 

 

Living Ponds, a PCS sponsor for the last couple of years, has decided to go their own way. They have recently changed a lot of things around in the shop, and have no cichlids or tropicals left whatsoever. As they have no crossover with us in the aquarium hobby now, they have ceased to be a PCS sponsor. They are of course still trading in Victoria  Park. Thank you Darian for your support in recent years and good luck in the future.:)

Haha, kleinz you recognized it!
Tank looks awesome... must hold the record for most changes of ownership.

Good luck Darian and Living Ponds. Great bloke to deal with and a fantastic shop to wander around.
