It's a sad day for me today because my little Puffin (my Oranda goldfish) passed away today 
I brought him home as a baby and even had a contest on the forum for his name; using the picture below. He lived for almost 2 years until he came down with the deadly dropsy disease Oranda's sometimes get. Puffin would always great me every morning. I would tap on the tank and he'd come running (hehehe-swimming) up to the top for his food. He got So Big that his bubble head grew over his eyes making him blind. But that didn't stop him from eating.
Sadly, I couldn't seem to get a descent recent picture of him full grown because he was always moving and the pics would turn out blurry so this is all I have of him; as a baby. I think Puffin will be my last attempt at Oranda goldfish since my other Oranda Cally died of the same thing 2 years ago.
