I've tried and tried to get a photo but can't - he's too fast and my camera sux.

Basically he is a pretty wild type colouring and has what I call a scissor tail. he's the only one of my fry to develop this tail so I'm not sure what to do with him. I had him in a tank with a lone female from same batch he was and they have now bred.. I want to sell off/ rehome all the fry becuase it's only a small tank but I don't know what to call the parent! If it's a fault I'll give all the fry away as feeders. There's only about 15 I think.

He looks very much like the one below, only more colourful with red in dorsal and tail.

I personally wouldn't call it a fault. Is the color split or the actual tail?

the actual tail is split with a small piece separating the two sides. I will upload some (bad) photos shortly.

he looks better in real life.. he also seems to have very slight tuxedo shading.

here goes ..

the next pics shows his red colouring on fin and tail better.

what do you think his tail type is?

all of the different goldfish types started as a fault

You get double tail fighters too.

I think its cool. The fish is happy and healthy so there is nothing wrong with it :nilly:

well I've chucked the fry on TM and will see if anyone wants them. Otherwise they could be eel tucker.
