Can anyone out there shed some light on the title/type of my new goldfish ?.
I recently bought it from a local store, from a tank of mixed FANTAILED goldfish.
It is about 2" long, orange black silver/white mixed markings. Round bodied but here is the odd thing.....in all the books I,ve read, fantail goldfish have double tails, with either 4 distinct fins or the top 2 fins joined at the top edge. This fish has ONE normal top fin and TWO bottom fins, making his tail shape like an upside down Y.
Does this fin type have a name ? and is this a common fin style ?.
thanks for your help
