What kind of goldfish is this?

[tks4d2]

I just got him today. Don't be fooled by these pics...he's humongous...roughly 7". He looks like a hybrid of a common...:huh:

its a shubunkin or calico goldfish i think =]

i'm not quite sure, but i don't think his tail fin is long enough to be a shubunkin....

I would assume a comet

 

[tks4d2]

there's no way it's a comet...comet's doon't look like this

 

[tks4d2]

I mean just look how big and pearly the scales are

 

[Dangerdoll]

why not (for curiosity sake)

 

[tks4d2]

comets do not have huge stomachs like this one...the stomach buldges out and look how big and colorful the scales are

I'd say Shubunkin, though the short tail makes me lean a bit towards common.

actually, shubnkin's do come in a shorter tailed version.... for what it's worth.
