Goldfish

[thingthing]

10" comet 'sampson' in a streched net (i need a new net, it has holes in it)

next to an australian 50 cent coin (1.5" diameter) with some koi

i just bought an 8.5" shubunkin, no pics yet. i also have a 7" common goldfish and 7" uncoloured goldfish.

comparing the goldfish to koi

uncoloured goldfish next to aussie bass

i rarely see common goldfish for sale and when i do, they are usually big. most small goldfish i see are comets or fancies. why are they called common goldfish then?

thingthing, your "uncolored" goldfish is called a funa, and they are actually quite rare. that copper color has been considered undesirable for so long that it's very unusual to find an adult with that color now. especially a comet! these days, an adult funa is a real prize. yours is gorgeous!
