Fishy tales from the Dunford menagarie.

Introducing Finnigan (named by my mum). Last week Unkin's little fishy pal (Shub) died and had to have an appropriate fish funeral ("bye bye" flush gurgle gurgle). Unkin was looking a bit lonely yesterday so I went to get him a friend.

From the top...Unkin & Finnigan. As you've probably guessed, Unkin is a Shubunkin. Finnigan is a Sarasa Comet. In time his tail will grow long and flowing.

It's hard to tell from the photos but Finnigan is chunkier and a tiny bit longer than Unkin. Unkin has a gold sheen to his overall colour.

Remembering Shub. This was taken when I bought him...October 2008.

Shub the beautiful little fish, taken last October. I've had many fish over the past twenty years but this one was rather special.
