Regular Member Deku Posted November 7, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 You know ... lol there is a whole forum of photos of peoples fish. Just alittle bit down the forum ;3; its too much work. Cause Ill get sucked up into looking every single thread. I just wanna see every single different species of goldfish. I wanna see how good they can be and how bad they can be. You know? Like sometimes an oranda may have really bright colors and a nice flowy tail and another can be dull and have a short tail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member rai-nbow Posted November 7, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Hellos! We have a huge picture section here on Koko's... And as for the Ryukin vs. fantail thing, you really have to become an expert I think at differentiating the two when they're young and at pet store chains. If they're exceptionally little you can't really tell I don't think. I can tell now mainly by the shape. If you look at a baby fantail it's more narrow than a ryukin and the way the tail is set on is slightly different. I've noticed that the ryukin tail is set on slightly higher and sticks out more stiffly whereas a fantail's tail flows out straighter and loosely. The body shape of a ryukin is like a triangle. From point of his nose, to the top of his back, and down to his belly. Fantail's are more tear drop shape. But in reality, they're so closely related, you never really know 'til they're older. Especially if you're not buying from a breeder. Edit: Oh, and of course the hump. As for your reply about the pictures, the only way you can learn what you like and what you don't like and what goldfish look like is to just look at pictures of our goldfish here on koko's until your eyes pop. Every goldfish is different and not all are like the stunning, expensive, top-of-the-line goldfish some people on here own. But every one is beautiful in their own ways and we all love our goldfish and that's what matters. As for different breeds, just google different goldfish breeds. I think Koko's has a section for that too actually... Edited November 7, 2010 by Rai 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fat ones, but I like the slender fantails and veiltails. Cause I like both looooonnnng tails and fat bodies. xD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red one. With long fins? That's Karyu, my telescope hybrid thing. I bought him January 17th as a baby about 1.5 inches in all. He's about 6 inches now. With half of it being tail. ahaha~ ;D He's grown since this picture was taken and I wouldn't advise doing this unless your fish is really chill~ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hand is underneath it. If the goldfish thrashes about then it may cause scales to fall off. I had a goldfish like that. But then it died cause I decided to rescue another goldie and that one was loaded with bad gunk. I want that goldfish though. Where can I find one like htat? its soooo prettyyyy.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yepp. And you gotta be careful with their slime coat. Aw, I'm sorry about your goldfish. Hm. I've only ever seen like 2 telescopes around where I live. But you can sometimes find them at chain stores and local fish stores. There are a handful of goldfish breeders online that have telescopes. I doubt they're within your price range though. They're definitely not in mine. Check out raingarden.us and check out their goldfish. They're beautiful. Also, goldfishconnection.com will have an auction starting up tonight. While you may not be able to purchase them, they're definitely worth gazing at. ^_^ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you so picky about fish? Iam picky about mostly everything. Its my defect. I like blackmoors that stay black or turn all red. xD Ill give the moor a whirl if I dont find a lion head or ranchu. See with a ranchu, I really couldnt give a butt of what it looks like in coloration. Id just pick a koi colored one and thats the end of it, hopefully if I find one with lots of personality then color and pattern is no problem. See its either color or personality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
