Black Butterfly Beauties
Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8nrfm8nEcA
Here are my four black butterfly telescope goldfish in their 75 gallon aquarium. The three big ones (Loki, Lana, and Mordecai) are from Dandy Orandas and the little guy (Poe) was bred by me from red/white butterfly telescope parents. These fish spawned for me a few days ago, so I now have a batch of tiny little fry from them. I’m very excited to see how the babies turn out!

New Breeder Fish Arrive from Dandy Orandas
As you will probably remember, about a month ago I had the unique privilege of traveling to Dandy Orandas in Michigan to visit, show you guys a video tour of the facility, and even hand-pick my own fish in person! Well, the day we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived… the fish I hand-picked are here and doing well. This addition of 10 butterfly telescopes rounds out my group of broodstock and will allow me to produce some beautiful baby butterflies in the near future, so get excited!

Deme*tyoubi Felted Goldfish Art Unboxing + Giveaway
Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VbQZWKQqS4
I have long admired Deme*tyoubi’s felted goldfish art, and even commissioned a custom-made goldfish a couple of years ago. This year I decided to up the ante and commission another piece in a bigger size!
This time I commissioned Hikaru to create a 10-inch-long felted replica of my favorite fish, my male panda butterfly telescope named Clyde. Clyde used to have striking panda coloration, but he has since lost all the black markings and is now red and white.
The photos I provided to the artist are of him about a year ago, when he still had his black markings. Hikaru recreated his markings perfectly, and even attached glitter fabric scales in a few places, since Clyde has a few scales that are more shiny than the rest.
Deme*tyoubi also makes small felted goldfish keychains in a wide variety of goldfish types. She agreed to send me three for free so that I could give them away to you! Please click on the video above for the full giveaway rules and information.
You can find Deme*tyoubi online to order your own custom felted goldfish at these links:

One Year Update for Butterfly Babies
Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl1K8Rxx-F8
You got to see my butterfly telescope babies grow up from little one-week-old “eyelashes” and now just look at the beauties they’ve become! They’re almost one year old now and I’m so pleased with how they’ve turned out. It has taken a lot of careful grooming (aka WORK!) to get to this point, but it’s nice to see the rewards. These are the seven that I have decided are my keepers for future breeding; the other have already been sold a few months ago.
I have gotten a few unfortunate reports of swim bladder issues in some of the babies that went to new homes, which leads me to think that Luca (my white butterfly) may have been the father of most of them. While I knew Sophie was the mother, since she was the only female in the tank at the time, I didn’t know who the father was being that it was a group spawn. Luca has slight swim bladder issues, though not severe whatsoever. Just in case he is genetically predisposed to swim bladder issues and passes that along to his offspring though, I do not plan to use him for any future breeding. He’s my oldest goldfish anyways; it’s time for him to retire! Since most of my red/white butterflies are more orange/white than true red/white, I will also be looking for some nice deep red fish I can breed them with to try and get better color in the future. Even though these babies may not be RED, I still love how they turned out anyway!

How to Move with Goldfish
Since sharing with you guys that I moved from Northern Minnesota all the way across the country to Central Florida, I’ve been bombarded with requests for a video explaining how to bring your goldfish with you when you move. This long-awaited video explains everything you need to know about getting your beloved goldfish from point A to point B safely! It worked for me and it will work for you too.
