Regular Member small_ranchu Posted February 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 How big is he? For the time being, I will say it's a fantail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member IloveSpaceboy Posted February 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 My first thought was fantail too, although he may be a Ryukin just not fully developed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SnBMeg Posted February 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 Could be a ryukin, but unless/until it develops a hump, I agree with Fred: looks like a fantail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member dickey_moe Posted February 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 It looks Ryukin to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karolina Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 My fish has about 5 cm long without tail. It has't a hump on head I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member x-Lucy-Fish-x Posted February 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think its a Ryukin.. the head is more ryukin-ish.. like a pointy shape which does go into a tiny bump, which would be tiny as its such a small fish.

Regular Member abeadle Posted February 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 It could be either a fantail or a ryukin but my first guess was a fantail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Tosakin in Oz Posted February 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 What a pretty little fantail! It looks like it stole it's tail off a swallow (the bird not the digestive action!)! Nice markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Karolina Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 my another fish. Are they ryukins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dhlusak Posted February 28, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm in the 'fantail' crowd on this second one. Little question The first one, maybe a ryu. That long long dorsil makes it seem like a larger hump than it probably is, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karolina Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 second and first fish is the same fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dhlusak Posted February 28, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2007 HA! Then I'll just say fantail. *embarassed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karolina Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 What difference is between fantail and ryukin? I saw many pictures and when they are young they look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SnBMeg Posted February 28, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2007 I think the only big difference between the two breeds is that when they mature, a ryukin will have a large hump just behind its head. Many goldfish types do look the same, or nearly the same, when they're very young--not surprising considering they are just variations of one species. For example, a very young oranda might also look like a fantail, until it begins to develop a wen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
