Comet
The most common goldfish. Has a long, slender body. Orange color, but can also be white and red which is called Sarassa.
Fantail
Perfect for water gardens, the goldfish-shaped shubunkin features a stunning pale blue background with flecks of red, black and blue.
Lionhead
Very similar to the Oranda’s head shape and Fantail, but lacks a dorsal fin (the fin that runs down the back of a fish).
Oranda
Short and plump like Fantails, but has bulging growths on its head, almost like a cap.
Koi
Prized world-over for their vivid coloration, striking patterns, and longevity, Koi are actually the colored variety of the common carp. There are many colors, shapes, and types to choose from.
Shubunkin
Identical shape to the Comet; instead has a base color of light blue, covered in patterns of darker blue, red, brown, white, or black.
