My Lionhead is Named Jose, and I've had him for about a month. I love having him around, and out of four fish I bought, he is the only one to survive. I accidentally bought a diseased fish, and it spread through out the tank. But he got better, and is real active. But yesturday, I noticed his fin just split, and today he's showing signs of Fin-rot again. So, although a great fish to have and keep, these really aren't for beginners. I just hope he gets better again, since he brightens my grandmother's and my days everytime we see him.

We have a Calico Lion head named Colossus. He is an awesome pet and always at the glass to see us, probably because we are always looking at him. He loves veggie wafers. He is easy to look after. I think that we would buy more of this type of goldfish in the future. Enjoy your lionhead gold fish where ever you are

I have never had coldwater fish before. i have always had tropical fish because i just thought they were better to be honest. I was in the pet shop with my brother (bad idea) and he flicked this poor lionhead. i felt so sorry for this fish i bought it and put it in my hospital tank (an empty tank i keep set up incase i get any injurys). he cost me

We have 4 of the most beautiful Lionheads ever born, Larry, Curly, Moe & Shemp. They are in a 55 gallon tank we keep in the kitchen nook area. First thing in the morning while having coffee and waking up, we just sit and watch them. oohh so relaxing. Anyone thinking of a fish to purchase should get a Curly, Larry, Moe, or a Shemp, and your day will start out a lot better.

I have a lionhead named Blobby and i highly recommend them. Make sure that you choose one that appears very active when you buy it because it will probably be healthier and more entertaining!

I have a lion head. He was cute but he got aggressive and seems to have killed my fish. When I put other fish in with him he starts butting them.
