A friend of mine took a picture of a goldfish being sold in a department store in London. I've been looking through sites that list various types of goldfish and I can't seem to place this one anywhere. Anyone have an idea?

These are pearlscale goldfish. Sold commonly in most LFS, but pearlscales of this quality are a bit harder to find.

nope, that's a characteristic of the pearlscales. Chubby buggers too, huh

The nose down one looks like an oranda but the rest are pearlscale.

I have seen them at my lfs but never that fat. They look so funny. I want one but I dont want to overstock my 55g which has 3 fancys and filtration for 135g.
