Have You Ever Seen This?

[*Fishkies*]

My boyfriend bought this fish for me from a Wal-Mart. We had been looking at him for about 3 weeks. And finally my boyfriend decided to buy him. He was in really bad condition. He had a swimbladder disorder starting and also had fungus on a clamped fin. But we fed him the proper food and now he is doing much better. But the really cool thing, is his coloring! Take a look at this.

Orange eyes, white body, orange tail with black tips....and one white front fin and one orange front fin.

Wow, never in my life seen anything like that, its eyes are HUGE to! When its bigger it will be one eye getter if it doesnt change color to much. Sweet fishy!

Well I was able to get a pictures of his tail. I don't think he is a Jikin, nor a Wakin. But who knows. He came from wal-mart anything is possible...haha!

He is only 1 1/2" inches long. Can anybody guess how old he is? I was just wondering because he is so tiny.

Thanks though for helping me try to identify him!!!!

He young thats for sure. I myself would say under 1 yr. When I got my calico fantail from head to tail he barley hit the 3/4" mark! Now he is about 3.25" and I have had him for probably around no more than 10 months

So if he's under a year. Is it possible that goldfish need to learn how to swim or are goldfish born swimmers? The fancy goldfish that is.

Lol I think its in there genetics, like we breath. Would suck to have a stupid fish that doesnt know how to swim
