short body green terror? or no?

Yep, very normal looking GT. Like VERY normal.

But yes, there is a thing as a short body GT.

There is potentially a short body for anything, simply because a mutation can occur to any fish and make it short bodied.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but i was wondering the same about my gold saum. He's a little shorter and fatter than yours lol. Short body or just a little fatty?

 

[Lgw]

I should probably add that he's about 3.5 inches at the moment

For a short body, you'll see that the head is pretty much right next to the tail lol. Okay that's an exaggeration, but that's how your sorta classify short-bodies.

Neither classify as short body, however, I would argue that they are shorter bodied than a regular specimin.

I have high body GT that have more rounded shape than regular GT. The parents of my GT were Malaysian import which selectively bred GT to produce high body and big hump. They are normal fish not to be confused with deformed short body GT. I raised the babies from my high body GT parents and the offsprings exhibit variation in body form, some are taller than the other, some develop bigger hump than the other, some are runts and stay small, but all exhibit brilliant green and thick orange edge with almost no variation.

Here is a short body deformed Green Texas. There are short body deformed Green Terror, Flowerhown, and red devel (King Kong Parrot) in the trade, all developed in Asia. Our beloved goldfish are short body deformed Koi developed in China a thousand year ago. Deformed fish is not my cup, but I like the rounded form of high body Green Terror.

Finally figure out how to upload the pics. Here are my high body GT. They are normal fish, not deformed.

All deformities are in the eyes of the beholder. ;D
