Comet
Bred in the United States, the Comet goldfish is more playful and active than most other goldfish breeds.
Fantail
One of the hardiest fancy varieties, Fantail goldfish are recognizable for their split caudal fin.
Lionhead
Lacking a fin on their back (dorsal fin), Lionheads swim very slowly.
Oranda
Like Lionheads, Orandas also have unique head growth called “wen.”
Ryukin
These fish are hardy and a good choice for beginners. Ryukins are known for the large hump behind their heads.
Shubunkin
Known for their calico pattern, Shubunkins are very resilient and make a good first pet for new fish owners.
