Fantail....

[Niki86]

Has anyone ever seen a fantail goldfish with an extra tail?

I was the the pets tore today and seen a fantail that had it's regular two tails as what looked like a 5th tail underneath.....almost like another anal fin....it was centered between the two tail fins.....

There are lots of anomalies in goldfish but due to selective breeding for mutations in fancies, they are quite rampant. What is unusual is to actually see them in a lfs as its standard practice for breeders to cull any fish that does not fit the basic standards for a breed. A fish with an extra lobe is actually rather lucky to have escaped notice.

I would want to buy that fantail. Think they are cute when they are bit odd looking lol.
