'Types Of Exotic Goldfish'

This article will discuss 14 different types of exotic goldfish.

The first one
is the Black Moor. These fish are double-tailed and have telescope eyes.

Then
the Bubble eyed: they have bubble sacs under each eye. The bubbles are either
"boxer glove" shaped as the eyes are attached to the fish's head whereas the
second shape is nearly round and the eyes appear to be looking upward or
floating on the bubble. They can be various colors. They usually are without a
dorsal fin. Their body is similar in shape to a cigar. They have double fins in
proportion to their bodies.

We have the Celestial: this goldfish has a
double-tail without a dorsal fin. They body is cigar shaped. The eyes look
upward.

Also the Comet: these are more like the common goldfish but with longer
fins and skinnier bodies. They have a more slender look than the common
goldfish.

Then the Common: these are normally shaped fish. They can grow to be
12 inches and live 20+ yrs if cared for properly. They are often sold in pet
stores as "feeder fish". They have short finnage and are most commonly found in
the "orange" color. They can be red and white, brownish green, or green.

Next
is the Fantail: they are usually a shorter fish with double tails and more round
bodied. If they have long fins they are named veil tails. They are a well-liked
double-tail found in many pet stores. They have a head that is more pointed and
have no head growth. Their fins tend to be more size proportioned to their
bodies.

Without forgetting the Lionhead: another double-tailed fish with no
dorsal fin. It has a short rectangular shape. They can have head growth as big
as they are.

Here we have the Oranda: a lionhead with a dorsal fin and head
growth. They are most commonly white in color with a red cap (red-capped
oranda).

After the Pearl Scale: they have a fatter shape with a bulging middle
and their scales look as though a white pearl is beneath each one. They are
shaped similar to a ball. They have double-tails and if they have head growth
they are called Hamanishiki.

Next the Pompoms: small growths called pompoms
grow near their nostrils and are about the size of a pea. These fish are a
variety of colors. These fish are dorsal-less with a lionhead body and no head
growth.

The Ranchu: these fish do not have a dorsal fin but do have head
growth. They are not long and slender but more circular in shape. The curve of
their back is more noticeable than that of the lionhead.

And the Ryukin: these
little guys are round bodied and have a humped back. They have double-tails.
They store fat in their humps and head growth. Some older Ryukins will have head
growth.

Next the Shubunkin: these fish are more long bodied and best known for
their white bodies and spots of color in shades of yellow, orange, blue and
black. They are calico colored and have either comet shapes or shapes similar to
the common goldfish.

Finally the Telescope eyed: these fish come in a variety
of shapes; however, they have large eyes that stick out similar to a telescope.
They are double-tailed and have a short round body. These fish seem notorious
for changing colors from black to orange.
