When I originally got my 36 gallon, I got feeder goldfish to cycle my tank since I didn't know any better. After I got on here and started doing some research, I realized I didn't need the goldfish and I shouldn't have gotten them. All but one were rehomed because this little guy has a defect. He has no tail at all, just a little nub (we call him nubby) and the original plan was to keep him until his tail grew back... Only it never did. My question is, is there a way to tell what kind of goldfish he is without having a tail to base it off of? I've had him for several months now and he's only slightly larger than my GBR, he swims fine, is very peaceful and does really well with my current stock. I know I'll have to rehome him, but I'm curious as to how soon that would have to be. It's hard enough placing a common goldfish, it's even harder placing one who's got a defect!
