Penelope
The queen bee of the goldfish tank, Penelope is a big, sassy oranda. She was originally panda coloured, with black details, but those colours quickly faded (quite common) and now she is solid orange. I did buy her for looks, but she won me over with personality.
When Penelope first arrived to the tank, she was already the largest of the group. However, I barely saw her for days. She spent all her days hiding, and developed quite bad ich (along with the others). With a bit of treatment, she pulled through, and slowly but surely came out of her shell. She is now the bossiest, pushiest, nuttiest goldfish ever. She has no issues being picked up in the water, as long as she gets some food out of it.

Paisley
A sweet oranda girl who started out tricolour (black, orange, and white), Paisley has since changed into a red and orange fish. Most of the time, Paisley is quite pushy to say hello, but if you break her trust, she's really good at holding a grudge.
Pascal
Pascal is a red and white lionhead with gorgeous eyes and a silly look on life. He can be quite shy at times, though he is a total sweet heart. He's got a real waddle to his swim, and it's quite amusing when he wants to go fast but just can't manage it.
Parker
Parker is a solid red ryukin goldfish, and has quickly turned from a clumsy little guy, to a handsome full bodied fish. His colours have improved so much since I first got him, he is definitely the most vibrant of all the fish, a good look with the classic deep body of a ryukin goldfish.
