It's official, I have fishues...

[tbendl]

Well folks I went and did it. Found these 2 guys last night. They aren't shubunkins, in fact, I don't know what they are since they were in the "Miscellaneous fish" bin. But they kept blowing fish kisses at me and my daughter so home they came. I'm still looking to get 2 Shubby's this weekend but I now have fish!
To be fair, I'm not sure for how long since I have a toad/frog the size of a baseball creeping around in the water as of last night. I really hope he doesn't eat them.
The redder one with the longer tail is pretty outgoing, I saw him out and about a little this morning, the orange smaller one is a little shy.
Oh now can anyone tell me what kind of goldfish they are? I'm going to guess the orange is a sarasa??

Congratulations! They look like sarosa comets to me, but I'll let the gold fish experts chime in. Blow them some kisses from all of us

Thank you! I can't believe how excited I am to get finned pets.

So you have issues?! Don't we all! And yes, they are sarasas. (Not sure about the spelling.) Congratulations on becoming a fishmommy!

Hi Haro, I'm T... (That's a definite yes for issues, I'm just adding more to my already crowded plate... )
And both are sarasas? I wasn't sure since one has a longer tail.
And thanks so much Rob!

There they are, I missed this post some how.

They are both so cute

I always thought the shorter tail is a common goldfish and the long tail is a comet. The coloring on both is considered sarasa.

Common??? *Gasp* I can't have common fish.. Lol I have no idea what they are, that's what I was hoping someone on here would help me out with.
And as any proud parent would say... I guess it doesn't matter as long as they're healthy.. Lol

Congrats! They are SO CUTE!!!! I mean, they're no PONY, but still pretty cute. (I jest)

That's what people with common goldfish say to make themselves feel better I say it on a daily basis!

Man just wait till the Giraffe gets in, you'll all be whistling a different tune then... Hehe

So it is just a... I mean so it is a common goldfish?
See what happens when I buy "misc. fish"... So much for my miles of conversation regarding shubunkins.
I love it when my perfect plan comes together... Hehe
