 Do to the
freeze in FL, 50% - 75% of the fish were lost by fish farms. One half of
all tropical fish sold in the USA come from FL fish farms. Thus
fish are needed by pet shops. Aquarium-Club.com Members with fish
for sale should contact us with what they have for sale per requests to
fill orders to pet shops being sent to us.

Types of Goldfish:
|
Comet |
Shubunkin |
Fantail |
Black Moor |
|
The comet is generally the most common of
pond goldfish. It has a long slender body. This is often the typical
orange colored goldfish but can also be all white or white and red (known
as sarassa). |
The Shubunkin has an identical body shape
to the Comet. The difference is in the coloration. Shubunkins should have
a base color of light blue, which is covered with patterns of darker blue,
red, brown, white, or black. |
Another common pond fish is the Fantail.
Fantails are shorter and more plump than comets. Their caudal fin (tail)
is split giving them the fantail name. Basic Fantails can be found in any
goldfish colors (calico, sarassa, etc.). |
The Black Moor has the body of a fantail.
As the name would imply this fish is solid black in color. Its most
distinguishing characteristic is the bulging of the eyes.

Ryukin |
Oranda |
Lionhead |
Bubble-Eye |
|
Ryukins are very similar to the basic
fantail, the difference is in the slope of the back. The Ryukin has a
sharp slope between the head and the dorsal fin. |
Orandas are also of fantail shape,
distinguishing feature is the headgrowth. The headgrowth is known as the
hood and has the appearance of being covered with warts. |
The Lionhead is similar to the oranda in
that it has both the fantail shape and headgrowth. The difference in this
fish is that it completely lacks a dorsal fin. |
Fantail with a distinguishing factor of he
liquid-filled sacs that balloon out from below the eye sockets. The eyes
of the bubble-eye are also pointed upward. |
