    I like their names. They look like goldfish, AKA Koi AKA carp. There are different sub species of goldfish.....like your black fish with the bulging eyes.
    Fishlet, Where are you when we need you ?

    One is a fan tailed goldfish and the other is a black moor.  Very popular.


    Cute.


    The little black moor will probably grow up to have a lot of copper tones to him/her (Only the goldfish knows for sure).


     


    If one was to purchase say...... 1000 of the little orange one it's label would actually be "Red Fantail Goldfish".

    I knew I could count on you Fishy.Thank You.

    If the little orange one had a bit more spots he would be a calico fantail... hmmmmmm. I bet that is the bag he showed up in.

    Enjoy!

    Hi Tommy.  No doubt, these are goldfish, but with over 120 species of goldfish, you and your granddaughter might enjoy looking through this website, filled with photos and names of the many varieties:
