As I said in the last pet post, we have had our eye on a certain fish, a companion for Bubbles. Well this weekend Petco finally restocked their Telescope Goldfish, so we just had to get one!

Meet Doodle. Unlike Bubbles, Doodle likes to just float around the bottom, swimming here and there. Bubbles is the one that non-stop swims around the tank. I think Doodle is just getting adjusted. I was surprised how Bubbles reacted with another fish in the tank, it was as if the other wish wasn’t even there. Now they swim around together and I have no worries of coming home and finding only one fish. I caught them playing what looked like tag today which was fun to watch for a bit.

Next we plan to get a tropical fish since we need to put the smaller tank to good use. We saw this shark looking fish with a flat white bottom with whiskers like a catfish. I forget the name and can’t find a picture online so you’ll just have to wait till we get one to show you what I mean.

We upgraded Bubbles to a 10 gallon tank. He seems a bit more calm now since he has more room and more oxygen in the air. I think it was mostly the current in the small tank. We needed to aerate the small tank so he had enough oxygen, but that caused a bit of a current which Goldfish don’t tend to like too much.

Jamie and I have been eying some companions for Bubbles, so maybe more to come this weekend. For now watch another video of Bubbles in his new home.

Meet Bubbles our new pet. Jamie and I picked him up on Monday. Bubbles is a Red & White Ryukin, part of the goldfish family. He’s a fun fish because he loves to swim around a lot. We just recently added a bubble bar and he loves to eat the bubbles, how ironic.
