Some tall live plants like vallisneria will eventually be added to this tank, but it is best not to cram a goldfish tank full of a lot of different decorations because they are clumsy, large fish (especially butterflies) that can easily damage their fins or scales on aquarium decorations. Goldfish are carp, and sifting through sand for bits of food is a natural behavior that they love to spend lots of time doing. Sand is a great substrate for goldfish because it gives them an outlet for their natural behaviors. The yearly subscription fee is £25.00 and if you are a member of the GSGB you are entitled to a 10 discount on any fish purchased from Star Fisheries all the time you remain a member. They have a fake tree stump background from Aqua Decor backgrounds, Sunset Gold sand by Caribsea, and a few large river rocks just to blend the background into the substrate. They’re just the best! This tank is just one tank in my wall of 120 gallon aquariums stacked two-high on racks from Custom Aquariums. I can’t go anywhere in the fish room without Nalu following me around right at the front of the aquarium glass, wiggling back and forth so cute begging for food.

Maybe in part because they can’t see as well (although that’s debatable), but these guys always are the first to learn hand-feeding and they’re the biggest beggars.

They seem to be more tame and personable than other goldfish types on average. Not only are they beautiful, but they also have some of the best personalities of all goldfish. Even though I have branched out now and have multiple different goldfish varieties in my fish room, butterflies will always have a special place in my heart. I made lots of videos about them and inspired many other goldfish enthusiasts to take a second look at this gorgeous variety. I loved them so much that for many years, I had only butterfly telescopes. As goldfish hobbyist ourselves, we understand how hard it is to get healthy and high quality goldfish in the State so we took on the quest of doing just that. We are located in the heart of the Lone Star State, Austin, Texas. They’re just so elegant with their big, butterfly-shaped tails and their cute bug eyes. Thank you for visiting our online goldfish store. When I first got into goldfish keeping back in 2009, it was the butterfly telescope that immediately captured my attention. My favorite tank in my fish room is the butterfly telescope tank.
