He's a true red-eye tyrosinase-negative albino. Bought him for $1.50 at barely 2".
awesome looking! jealous of your deal!
 
Nice fish Oddball!
I had an Iridescent Shark for a short while. He was 18" long. Those pectoral fins scared the poop outa me. I made the decision that he needed a good home and took him to a place here in FL called Celico Wader Gardens. They let me put him in there 10,000 or so gallon pond with there koi (4'-5'). I wonder how he is doin? I think I'll take a trip out there today and see!

is that a huge goldfish? how big is it?
 
why yes it is I am still trying to figure out if I am going to get a new tank or find it a nice home (since it is illegal to put them in an outdoor pond here). I havn't really measured but if I had to guess I would say 10" it's a shubunkin. It was only about 2" when it was forced on me 3 years ago lol. it actually has grown much faster than my irridescant that was bought at the same size/time, but I think that's because my water temps have been on the cooler side for most of this year. I just added a new heater though so temps are gonna be back to a nice warm range lol.
 
not the biggest here (8.5") but worthy of posting
