GOLDFISH ACROSS AMERICA TOUR!!!

Dandy Orandas has customers in every state of the USA. I know some quite well and consider many of you to be friends at this point. I've had an idea for nearly 20 years that it would be great to actually meet many of you in person someday. I've always had fish here though, so it's been nearly impossible to leave, even for a day. The decision to forego imports due to tariffs provides the freedom to finally make my idea happen.

I plan on doing a tour of the Southern Half of the USA, starting in late February. That will include stops at various locations to talk goldfish, with video interviews of people, their setups, their fish, etc.. I already have several interesting places and people lined up, but am inviting everyone out there to possibly be a part of the tour. There is still a lot of planning ...exact locations, timing, etc., but I hope to piece those details together in the upcoming weeks.

The pic below is a rough sketch of my tentative route. It is not exact, and there will likely be some deviation, but I don't plan on being in the north half of the USA at this time.

Anyway, if you would be interested in having me stop by your area, I'd love to see everyone I can during this tour. And, you don't have to be an old customer...I hope to meet lots of new people too! If interested and close to my route, please email me with some basic info....

1. Your location
2. A little about yourself and your fish hobby. How you got started, etc.
3. Quick description of your setup/s
4. If you'd be willing to be part of a quick video interview with your fish.
5. Any other thoughts you'd like to share, including points of interest in your area. Fish related places would be great, but I haven't traveled much, so would be interested in most any points of interest along the way.

Please send email to...

I hope to make this informative and interesting, as well as lots of fun! It will be hard to visit everyone, but I hope to see as many people as possible. It's going to be me and my three kids (rescue dogs) in an old RV for about three months. That alone should be interesting!

See you soon?

cheers,
Ken

Instead of a slideshow of auction photos, here's a video sample of several of this week's auction fish. This was my first attempt at this idea, and is not as nice as I'd like, but I figured I'd share anyway. There's more current in this tank than I'd usually recommend, and I forgot my Dandy Golfball! (Bubbles on the white bubble-eye are nearly golfball size, so you can use those as a reference.) And, no...fish are not kept at this density here. This is for video purpose only, and these fish are kept in several dozen different tanks. See more of them at dandyorandas.com

The auction started a day late this week, but there are 7 hours, and lots of goodies still available. Here's a quick slideshow of included fish. See them at dandyorandas.com

DANDY ORANDAS is "MOVING".

I'm not moving...yet, but here's a cool video experiment with moving Dandy Orandas text. Stay tuned for more to come.
(this seems a bit compressed uploaded to Facebook. Original video is much more clear. I need to look into quality optimization for this post, but wanted to share anyway.)

I know people love see goldfish pics, so will try to feature a quick slideshow every Sunday of each weekend's offerings. Here are some of my favorite pics from this week. There are many nice fish, but the big broadtails and MASSIVE oranda are truly exceptional.

Nice variety of fish, plus some truly MASSIVE ones, on auction this weekend at dandyorandas.com. Here are a few of my favorite pics...

I've mentioned before that many people are amazed when they see how big some of these fish are in person. This week's auction includes one of the biggest and nicest orandas I've ever imported. Usually pics are of individuals, but I included a 3.75 inch oranda to show the relative size. It's kinda funny because that size would be considered "medium" by many wholesalers and pet stores, yet it's tiny compared to "Big Mamma". While not mother/offspring, this pic made me think of my own mom. I wouldn't have Dandy Orandas if it wasn't for her love and support over the years. Thanks mom!

While I don't have a Guinness Record, and it's no real "Claim to Fame", I'm pretty sure I've taken more goldfish photos than anyone on the planet. I don't have an exact number, but I'm sure I'm well over 400,000 because I've gone through two cameras at nearly 200,000 shutter clicks before they died, and have another three with over 50,000 actuations. Most all of the pics I've taken have been goldfish. I'm not sure that anyone else is nutty enough to do this, or have the history of needing them for auctions every week for years. It's actually one of the most difficult parts of this business...fish don't like to cooperate, and it can be very time consuming and extremely frustrating. I have to admit that I became a bit burnt-out doing it every week. But, having a break from it the last few months was nice, and when it came down to it, I realized I missed doing it. So, getting back to it last week was kinda fun again, and rewarding when I got a great pic of a one-of-a-kind fish. So, I thought I'd share a few of my favorites from this week's auction....
