Welcome to Gaia! ::

What a great rescue! Looks like you have an Oranda and Common. While its generally recommended to not keep Fancies and Commons together, as the Commons will nab all the food before the Fancies can get anything, they should be fine for now, since they have been living together for quite a while. When they get bigger, it will become more of a problem, as the Oranda wont be able to keep up with the Common.

If you really want to see these guys blossom, get a pond or a 55 gallon tank (craigslist.org and freecycle.org are good places to strike gold wink ). Even a 30 gallon tank, and then plan in the near future to upgrade the Common to something bigger. You could make a nice a temperate water community with the Oranda, as they stay reletively small =)

I bit of a word of advice. I rescued a Fair Goldfish, a Common, and temperarily kept him in a 10 gallon, with water changes every 3 days, and he still suffered from ammonia poisining. The tank was even bare bottom, spot cleaned after feeding, and only had a single cave in it, with a too large filter. So you may want to start doing daily 50% or more water changes. You may also want to reduce feedings to once a day, with a high quality food, such as Omega One or New Life Spectrum. These foods are highly digestable, so the fish gets more nutrients out of it, thus pooping less.

I would love to see some more pics if you have the time =D

hmmmm stressed he's now trying to do the same to his betta, who's in a nice filtered good sized tank, so he can get a girl!!! He's holding off so far only because of lack of cash....completely ignoring me and my efforts to stop him scream i'm about to KILL him!!

unfortunately to my complete horror to say this, done and died burning_eyes already about to kill him!!
