What kind of Goldfish is this

[psyek]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and having goldfish, I was just wondering what kind of goldfish is this.

Thanks for the help.

second is definitely a ranchu; has a curved back and a 90 degree tail tuck.

the first looks rather underfed, and once it fills out could end up being a rachu, but for now I think it looks more lionhead.

Second is a ranchu. I don't know about the first, either. I agree with Moonstream that it looks a tad to the thin side. Body doesn't seem like a ranchu, but the first fish looks to be considerably younger than the second. Is it?

I'd call them both ranchu. The white fish is much nicer.
