Hello everyone - please see pic: he doesn't have flowing fins is this a comet or a sarasa comet?

Thanks!

So it's got Sarasa coloration, but common shape.... it's a mutt.

Lol yes I figured - this would probably be a good mutt that can handle the outdoor winter temps of C NJ

Maybe a Sarasa "Common".....

How old is he? If he's young, a few things might still happen. Either his fins will grow out some more, he'll lose the white (or could even lose the orange -- I have 2 that did that), or he'll stay the same. Some goldfish should be called "mystery fish," because you never know what you're going to end up with. He is pretty!

Ty - He's young - he's doubled in size (about 4") since I first got him and close to pond alpha as a fish can get in a 300 gallon outdoor pond. For this reason we've nickname him "King".

He was in a tank with the last 2 shubunkin I purchased and figured why not drop him in the bag as well: no fish left behind right

I like how his stripe goes through his body down through his tail and is a very well mannered fish

Pretty fish even if a mutt!

Sorry about grainy pix - photos are "stills" of a video I took of my finned friends
