Most people think that all goldfish look the same, but there are many types of goldfish, and they all look different.

Goldfish originated from carp in ancient China. It was through the selective breeding of carp that the first kind of goldfish - ordinary goldfish - was born! Since then, people have cultivated various species through selective breeding. Various goldfish. Most common goldfish are related to their ancestors, carp, and most fancy varieties are selectively bred on the basis of common goldfish, mainly to produce fish with a variety of shapes, eye shapes, fin shapes and colors. Due to their wide variety, it is difficult to classify them. The simplest way is through the arrangement of fins: single tail and double tail.

Single Tail:

Single Tail:

All single tail species differ only in their color and fin shape. They all have what is often called a "wild" type of body, meaning a body similar to that of a wild carp.

1. Common/feeder: Common comes in many different color varieties, including orange, yellow, "wild" color (brown) and white. Their patterns can range from uniform colors to various color combinations and spots.

2. Comets: Comets are very similar to ordinary comets, the only difference is their tails - the tails of comets are much longer.

3.Shubunkin: Very similar to comets in tail and body shape, Shubunkin can be identified by their color and pattern - they only have white cloth!

Twin tails:

These are often called "fantasies." Most types are more rounded than single-tailed goldfish and have a variety of interesting features. These are goldfish with separate tail fins. Twin-tailed breeds have two tails that fuse together at the base, giving them a winged appearance.

1. Long-tailed snakes: Long-tailed snakes have slightly thicker bodies than single-tailed snakes, but are easily recognized by their tiny twin tails.

2. Jikin (peacock): They are difficult to find because it is almost impossible to breed a perfect peacock. They should have a long body, like a single-tailed goldfish, but with a twin tail spread 180 degrees.

3. Fantail goldfish: This goldfish is similar to Sleeping Beauty, except that its tail is longer and its body is much rounder than Sleeping Beauty. They are one of the most popular types of fantasy. They come in countless colors and patterns, although plain orange seems to be the most common.

4. Fantail Goldfish: They look a lot like the common fantail goldfish, but their fins are longer and more flowery. In fact, the tail sometimes grows almost twice as long as the body! The name comes from the veil-like appearance of the fish's tail while it swims. They come in almost every color and style.

5. Ryukyusaurus: There are two types: long tail and short tail. Ryukyusaurus is similar to a fantail, but has a big hump on the back of its head. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, although red and white seem to be the most common.

6. Tosakin: Known for its huge curly tail, this goldfish is a very rare goldfish with very specific requirements.

7. Telescopic Eyes: Telescopic eyes are named after their large, bulging eyes and are caused by a genetic mutation. They have several different subtypes, such as Butterfly (with a butterfly-shaped tail), Black Moor (completely black with telescopic eyes), and Demekin (Ryukyu with telescopic eyes), all of which have similar requirements.

Telescopic eyes are very popular and can be found in most pet stores. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, including more exotic ones like panda, chocolate, and purple.

8. Oranda: Often mistakenly labeled as lion heads, they are easily recognized because of the brain-like thing on their head. This head growth, called "marking," is the result of selective breeding. Orandas come in a variety of colors and fun patterns; for example, red-capped orandas are completely white with red streaks!

9. Pom Poms: The name for pom poms, as they are sometimes called For Hana Fusa, comes from the enlarged nose flower.

They look like little pom-poms on the fish's nose!

There are two different species of pom-pom goldfish; one has a normal dorsal fin, and the other has no dorsal fin.

10. Lanchu: This is a round, backless goldfish with a small bump on its entire head. It is often mistaken for a lion's head. Ranchus is available in almost every color. They are very popular.
