I saw these fish on tv, the other day and would really like to know what it is?
Thanks, for any help.

A place in my heart will always belong to my babies at the bridge.

They look like oriental goldfish most good pet shops or fish stores will stock them. They tend to make a bit more waste than a normal bog standard golgfish. They can suffer a bit from swim bladder problems and you will need to check on food youd be giving them. They need good filteration or can get red streaks along there fins and tail which can change to fin rot if the water is in bad condition. I have kept these and there very nice looking fish but need a bit more care than a normal goldfish. They can also grow quite big some of them. There very common in tanks in some chinese takeaways ive noticed. Hope i could help. If you like these you may also like the Black moor and Fantail.

Thanks for your replies. I understand that they may be oriental goldfish, but there a huge variety out there. I would like to know exactly what it is called as i would like to research it.

Once again, Thank you.
Jake.

They look a bit like fan tails can you find any more pics. Cant be 100 percent sure.

Its very hard to tell from one photo, but they could possibly be some kind of veiltail or maybe long-finned oscars? Just guesses though really!

they could either be called a butterfly koi or a butterfly goldfish something like that. prob a good idea to type the names youve been given into google images and see if any match what they look like, hard to tell completely from that pic.

my best guess is butterfly koi, and if they are you will proberly have trouble finding them as we were trying to order them all year last year and none available, maybe more luck this year.
