| DwarfGourami Hobbyist Posts: 132 Kudos: 83 Votes: 6 Registered: 01-Aug-2005 | they are the feeder ones she said she bought it for like 26 cents so that sounds like the feeders to me. but all kinds of goldfish pictures would do. |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | if it can be any pic, i will look around.  but with feeder goldfish, they are mostly comet goldfish, and maybe common, both of these will grow alot larger than other goldfish, and i think are the second largest behind the koi. comets have a long tail, and are very good at short burst of speed, and a large tank is a must. |

Its probably a carp with a very gold colour rather than an actual goldfish.http://www.specialist-tackle.co.uk/gallery.php3?catid=1&imgid=256 er, and this one too.  This is definately a goldfish.Its definitely over a foot long.http://www.fishingworld.com/KCKLBass/KCKL-2004/Tarpley-goldfishWS.JPEG |
