Hello everybody again!
This time for identification of the fish of the pictures. It is only one, adopted of the fish pet shop when I bought my shubunkin. The owner told me somebody had brought it back because of its agressivity to all others in the tank, the former owner told him it was maybe because the size of the tank became too small for it. Well I thought there is plenty of space in my pond and I could rescue it from sacrifice.
At the beginning it was kind of territorial to the shubbies, but now the subbies have doubled their size (in only 5 months!!) and are pals with it.
It maybe obvious, but I am totally new with fish. It is aprox 6 inch and apparently close to its full size because it is almost the same size the last 5 months.
Thanks as always

Looks like a red and white goldfish, that color pattern is also sometimes known as a Sarasa comet since it usually has the longer tail.

Well, he (the pet shop owner said it is a male) looks very happy, swimming aroud and courting a female shubby 👍 in spite of a jealous shubby. No ending pond fun!
Thanks for your kind comment
