All my goldfish are commons and comets, except one looks nothing like the others. It's a single tail, roundish, and slender. Its shaped the way fancies are but it has a single tail and isn't fat like a fancy. as far as I know, only commons, comets, and shubunkins have a single tail and this fish looks nothing like any of them. This guy actually kind of looks like a orange and white angelfish but without those long things hanging off its stomach area like an angelfish has and it's top fin isn't as tall as a angelfish's. Any idea what this guy could be? I can get a pic tomorrow if you need one.

i'm with salt deffo need a pic 
I was just looking at some goldfish pictures and it seems to be a Ryukin, but it's tail fin is single and it isn't as large and flowing- it looks pretty much like a common/comet tail fin.
Looks alot like the first pic here.

had a look around and found some info pn single tailed ryukin now if i have got this right
a single tailed ryukin is called a Tamaryu
its body shape can either be a
Sabao as a low shoulder, and a long body .
or a Tamasaba is a high the shoulder, and short body with roundness.

mmm...i dont think its fat enough to be crossed with a ryukin or similar type fish. weird looking fish though. to me it looks flat all the way round? like a common goldie just the shape that looks more carp like than goldie like.

Looks more like a large albino tiger barb?
Woah, I think you may be right, davo. That never even occurred to me! and I wasted so much time trying to figure out what kind of goldfish he is, lol. He's about the size of a tiger barb, I think he's 2-3 inches long. I thought tiger barbs liked to nip fins? He hangs out with the goldfish always and I've never seen any aggression from him. I love tiger barbs and was planning on getting some for my 55g, so I'll get him some friends and separate him from the goldfish asap.
Thanks for your help, everyone!
