On one hand many prefer to admire the beauty in a home tank, but others put them in a pond (these are very good pond fish). Owners of this type of goldfish tend to be pretty split about where they keep them. This combination was so striking that it’s been impossible to forget. It was primarily black with some red patches around its head. One of the most beautiful goldfish we’ve ever seen was actually a Watonai. They’re kind of a mix between a Wakin and Comet because they do have two caudal fins but also have a bit of a long and slim body. The main reason for this is that Watonai goldfish simply aren’t seen very often. Here’s a kind of goldfish that a lot of people don’t know about. The size and pattern of these patches will vary based on the individual fish, but red on white is never a bad combo! Watonai We really like the large two-toned patches of color that you see on this type of goldfish. If this seems kind of weird we completely agree, it’s just the way it is. However, the rest of their body and build makes them a better fit for the single-tail category. Your first instinct might be to say that they should be considered a fancy goldfish, and it’s not a bad idea. What we mean by this is that they have two caudal fins and two anal fins. The Wakin is a bit unique because they have some traits that you normally don’t see in a single-tailed goldfish.
This fish is sometimes confused with koi by non-aquarists and rarely makes it on the shortlist of different breeds.īut there’s a lot to like. The Wakin is an interesting type of goldfish that a lot of people forget about. A lot of owners own Shubunkins for years without ever realizing that! Wakin They have a lot of clear and shiny scales that make it possible to see darker spots that are underneath. The interesting thing about this type of goldfish is that these darker spots aren’t actually on the outside of their scales. These spots extend onto their fins as well, giving them a slightly hypnotizing look. Shubunkins have a very interesting calico pattern with darker spots peppered all over their body. The most common kind of Shubunkin is very similar to the comet goldfish when it comes to the main colors.īut that’s where it ends. The big draw to this fish is their unique pattern and coloration. The shape and size of their bodies is about the same and they even have a lot of the same primary coloration. The comet is a type of goldfish that’s very similar to the common variety. We always advocate that you provide the best care possible, but in the short term these fish can absolutely handle it. You can throw almost anything at this type (within reason) and they’ll be fine. These fish are actually incredibly hardy and capable of handling a wide range of water conditions. Many people assume that the common goldfish are only popular because they’re cheap, but there’s more to it than that. This means a fairly normal yet long body with no-nonsense fins (don’t expect any flowing fins on these fish). Their bodies are very close to the original carp ancestors that the goldfish came from. Even though there isn’t much of a pattern, the combination of color and simplicity is still quite beautiful. This type is typically an orange/yellow mix but can sometimes come with some white in them too.
