Freddy Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 They hatched from some Java moss I bought. There are about 20 in total. The biggest ones are about 3/4 inch long. Several of them have double caudal fins. Any ideas? They are about 5 weeks old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Gee, that looks like a goldfish to me. I have not raised goldfish from eggs, so will wait to see what others say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I believe @GardenStateGoldfish breeds goldies; maybe they will weigh in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewzero1 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Looks like goldfish to me as well, especially the double caudal fins. A lot of young goldfish start out with black coloration which usually goes away as they get older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Wow! I would say a goldfish, it looks like a goldfish with everything except the color. I am not sure if its the camera playing tricks but I have never seen a green like that on a goldfish, I have seen an olive like color before but this is greener then that. Very unique goldfish you got there! can't wait to see it in 1 year when it gets fat and happy! Do any have double tails? or are they single tails? Goldfish are able to hybridize with certain fish. It is possible you have that going on which would make this even cooler, although for now I would just say they are normal goldfish hitch hikers.
