Watkin Goldfish

[Rafael Dilone]

At the LFS i work in a found a Wakin Goldfish in one of the feeder tanks. I decided to take it home and quarantine it for about a month in a bucket that will receive daily water changes. He is extremely small at the moment and i will feed him pees, hikari small pellets for goldfish and crushed algae wafers. I am aware they need mostly plant in their diets. I also know goldfish need at least 20 gallons per goldfish and an addition 10 gallons for another. This is only for quarantine that he will be in the 5 gallon bucket with a sponge filter. But I have never seen a Watkin Goldfish in any store i have gone to in NYC and i have visited every single on i can think of. So anyone have this goldfish in their LFS? If so what are they valued at in terms of price?

After speaking with a few fellow goldfish breeders and my local aquarium society i do not have a wakin goldfish. Seems i have a goldfish that does not been identified yet. Reason it is not a Wakin Goldfish is because the caudal fin is very long. Wakin goldfish have a short finnage. I hope to take a picture of it soon
