i have a pair of goldfishes. they are the remaining pair from an initial lot of over 10... over the years, one by one have died. and the remaining 2 (a ranchu and an oranda) are rather interesting, especially the oranda (white with red patches on the head).
until recently, i noted that this pair actually sleep at night. and for that matter, they actually sleep very soundly! over the last 2 weeks, bee and i realized one more thing. the oranda likes to sleep in the container that i use to contain the filtration pump. and she (with such a name, let's assume it's a she, and a bimbo) actually likes to sleep upside down inside this container. more than a couple of times, bee and i thought she had been sucked into the container by the filtration pump and had died. but when we tried to "dig" her out of the container, she would wake up, spring into action and dart out of the container. then she would swim around tossing and turning and show off her tail like as though nothing had happen. frankly, i half suspect she actually gave us the "what-the-fuck for disturbing my beauty sleep" look as she swam around! well, too bad i can't interpret goldfishs' face...

Your oranda is cute. I have 3 myself. I am always amused when they swim very enthusiatically and excitedly towards me whenever I am close to the tank. It means meal-time for them.
I was very glad to find them still alive and kicking when I returned from a week-long road trip to Malaysia recently. Such resilient goldfish they are ;)
heh heh... it's the same for my oranda. she always swims towards the side of the tank whenever i walk near the tank in the morning cos she knows it is meal time!
