Cher Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hello! I know most of my goldfish breeds but I just cannot seem to place this beautiful fish that caught my eye at the fish store the other day. The owner said she was a ryukin but I don't believe him, seeing as she doesn't really have an upper hump at all. Is she a fantail or veil tail? Or something I'm just not seeing? She didn't really look like an oranda to me... Thank you all! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BETTA999 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 ohhh thats hard it looks like a hibrid of a fantail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanF Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Doesn't look like a Ryukin to me either. Could be a veiltail or an oranda, but the scales are very strange. It looks like smooth skin with only a few scales on it. Is that an illusion, or is it really scaleless? Beautiful fish though! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, StanF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Matt Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 @WhitecloudDynasty I am curious of your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cher Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) @StanFI think it is mostly smooth skin with a few scales, that is exactly how she looked in person! The owner only wanted $50 for her and I thought that was way too cheap with how beautiful she is. Having a hard time not buying a tank for this beauty.

Cher Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 @Patrick_Gfrom nose to tail she was probably 6-6.5" maybe 7. absolutely stunning. my friend that works at the fish store didn't see her the other day, so i think she may have been bought by someone else! but thats ok, I hope she has a good home.
