Regular Member Kissy Posted July 28, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2005 Its not a birth defect, its only a trait. Most fancy goldfish have small growths on their nostrils. If they are bigger, its just a pom pom Oranda The term birth defect can be used for almost anything, but I prefer to use it for the crippling traits such as deformed fins, spines, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Abrienna Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Lillypetal, check out "types of goldfish" from the left hand menu. http://www.kokosgoldfish.com/ftypes.html Egg shaped fish either with or without fins. The Pom-Pons you see are the nostrils in excessive development. Some fish have it very lighly and others have very big ones. Abrienna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
