Help me identify what fish I have

5-7 are definitely carp. The barbels, the more slender body shape and on 5 and 7, the reflective scales along the top of it's body indicate so. These fish are better suited outside in a pond, and they will undoubtedly outgrow your tank. But, if you can put up with them uprooting plants and digging around in the dirt, there's no reason why they can't stay where they are for now, althought they feed more vociferously than the fancy ones, so they may just be getting a lions share of the food

Thanks. I'm planning on leaving 2 of them in the 30G tank until they hit 6" (they are now about 2" each) and then donating them to a neighbor's outdoor pond.

hes going to say something and you are gonna tell him "Goldfish should be kept in at least 60 gallon" when this person never once asked a question about tank size. :OT:. This happens all too often at AC. Dont tell people how to keep fish unless they ask. PM if you have a personal question like that so it doesn't lead to attacking by 27 different people all saying the same thing.

I think this was kind of a rude response not to mention I didn't ask you, I was asking hankn. I had no intention on telling him how many fish he should keep I was just curious.
 
I agree with everyone else's ID's of your fish except my guess at 5-7 are koi. I recently bought one for my family that looks just like the orange ones. I have never seen a black koi before, but I'd guess they exist. My suggestion to you is that you keep an eye on the koi. It really all depends on the exact personality of that fish, but since the kois are so much faster than a round-bodied fantail, they like to steal food away from the slower fish. Just keep an eye on them and make sure everyone is getting fed :)
 
The first 3 pics dont look like a black moor to me. I dont know if there is diffrent fin types or anything. In my avatar is a pic of my black moor.
The calico telescope looks like it might have fin rot.
 
Number 6 is a ghost koi, I got my mum some for her pond the other day and number 9 is a shubumkin. I don't know about the others.
