What kind of goldfish are these?

[nicky11]

Hi, I bought these two guys a couple years ago and have had them in my pond, but I need to start cutting down the number of fish in the pond and i only plan on keeping a few Koi. Problem is I don't know what type they are exactly and about how much they'd be worth. The big white one is about 20 cm long and the white and red one is about 10 cm long. I have a couple of people interested in buying these guys but I have no clue as to how much is a reasonable price.

Thanks for the help.

The top one definitely looks to be Ryukin Goldfish. The tell-tale hump on its back is definitely Ryukinish. The bottom one looks to be a fantail because of the lack of the prominent hump. If the small almost 4 inch one is truly a Ryukin it can bring anywhere from $20 to $50 depending on conformation, breeding and such. The almost 8 inch Fantail, because of its size should bring $20 to $30 as well. These prices reflect what Goldfish breeders in my area are selling them for. Hope this helps! Good looking fish!

Excellent, thanks a lot wolf96. Goldfish are just not my thing, but as I have a small pond I though what the hell I'll get a few. I was pretty sure the first one was a ryukin, but just wanted to be sure, the other one I had no idea was a fantail. The prices seem pretty much ok, as typically here in Peru the price of fish is usually doubled to what they are in the USA. Thanks a lot for the help, I appreciate it.
