Are you sure that isn't a koi? Looks awful "koi-y" to me.

It's actually a koi x goldfish if you want to get technical, you can identify them by the hump near the shoulder area and lack of barbels

They can hybridize? I never knew that.

To an extant, don't think the hybrids are fertile tho

That's why I posted the pic of the giant goldy at the buffet, he lives with a couple pacu, the smaller goldfish in the pic is about 4 inches long

4 inches is a giant?

That one has alot of color for a hybrid. I have a mixed population of koi and GF in my "junk" pond. Their spawns yeild dark hybrids and they dont usually live as long.
