Thread: Can you identify the species of my goldfish?

He is completely orange with a three-pronged tail. He has two little bumps on his head and pretty much looks like any other gold fish. Hopefully the unique tail will dispose him to a certain species.

Goldfish are all the same species, Carassius auratus. What you're asking about is what SPORT it is. It would be like asking what species of dog you have, they're all the same species but different BREEDS.

The tail likely does not have three prongs, its a double tail (the middle "prong" is two separate pieces).

A photo would help TREMENDOUSLY! What kind of bumps? If it looks like a little swollen spot on top of his head you like have a young oranda (with back fin) or a lion head (no back fin) which get "raspberry brains". If its two puffs on his nose than its a pom pom.

Idk
