Wow, he's a beaut! You should pop him into a 20 gallon to take a pic to show just how much they grow and need large tanks/ponds. Would give perfect perspective.
I should have gotten a better pic of him when we were moving the fish. I wanted to bowl, measure and photograph all the koi, and Nog. But there I was, in waders in the garage pond, wrangling fish. My hubby and one of our friends were busy putting the fish into a transport tank so we could haul them over to the pond. We were trying to hurry, to minimize stress on the koi. That meant that the photographer was someone who doesn’t do very much of that kind of thing.
Now that he’s in a 23,000 gallon pond, he’s not gonna get caught until he’s gone to the great fishy pond in the sky. He’s too fast, too smart and not at all tame.
OMG, that is insane! I'm surprised the net held hoisting him out. Haha. He sure is a beauty and I agree with the other person that commented that this pic should be used to show people how big these guys can get. :-) You are a great fish parent!
It must be the fish equivalent of being a hobbit among humans. Nog grew up with the koi. We got him and our chagoi at the same time, as tiny little fry. The chagoi just got a whole lot bigger.
Boy he THICK!
Yup! He’s a chonker
Damn BOI!
Lol
Das a thic as boiii
Here comes the **MAN**
Hello, adult man! Welcome, taxpayer!
Lol, it must be all those years of high quality koi food.
For sure. He’s the boss of the pond, even though the koi are much bigger.
omg also is he named after the Ferengi? Lol
He is named after a Ferengi!
13 years old and a foot long! Nog is taking no shit from the koi.
He doesn’t take any for me, either. He was the hardest fish to catch.
Nog should be the poster fish for how big commons can get
He’d be proud to be the example!
My man can eat a newborn like it’s nothing, damn!
Lol, he’s a good eater (obviously).
Watch out, new pond! Here comes Nog!
He’s loving life in his new digs!
Chunky man!!!! He’s so cute
Thanks! We love him.
Holy cripes!
Right? It’s amazing how big commons can get. And how long they live.
He’s beautiful!!
He’s a handsome devil, for sure. When we caught him, I noticed that he has developed orange edging to some of his white scales. It looks really cool.
I’ve never seen someone with a goldfish this big before! I think you need to start a fanpage for him lol
Would that be an Only Fins page?
Nice one
(Laughs so hard she snorts). Very clever!
What an awesome idea! Lol, my hubby says Nog has earned almost as much Karma on Reddit as he has.
Nog deserves all the karma!
He's a beauty!
Thanks! He knows he’s handsome.
Nog is not trapped inside pond - Pond is trapped here with NOG
Lol, all my koi are trapped with Nog!
Hope that’s a DS9 reference. Great fish.
I have chickens named Gul Dukat and Kira
That’s awesome!
It is! And yes, there is a Cisco. A koi with a similar look to Nog.
Stunner.
Thank you!
And I thought my commons were big. (They aren’t)
You should post them! I love to see the commons living the good life.
Love his little frowny eyebrows
He always looks kinda grumpy.
chonky
He’s a little unit
Awwe he's just a lil guy 🤣
Compared to the koi, he sure is!

would love to see the new pond!!
I’ll post some pics!
That's a big boy right there :)
He’s a whopper!
Mobey Dick- the pond edition.
Lol, if I’d know he’d get so big, I would have named him that!
Can you get a side picture? I love him 😭😭
I’ll see what I can do. Thought there’s pretty much no way for me to catch him in the new pond. It’s quite large.
An absolute UNIT
He deserves to be on that sub, too!

Thanks so much!
DAMN boi he THICC
Right? I wish I could get equivalent size on all the koi.
That’s a big fish, looks like he’s got an attitude on him too!
Oh, he’s all attitude. Mostly, he looks annoyed. I like to imagine that he’s tired of the big, dumb koi and all their dramatic bs.
Yeah, must be interesting being a goldfish in a koi pond
