Hey all!

I just got a new fish! Now I know I've said I don't like the fancy goldfish, but I found a $2.00 fantail that I just HAD to get! He's beautiful, and I've named him Captain Davy 'Fattie' Jones, or Jonesy for short. His body is about the size of an olive and he has an odd color that's like a green-gold. I wish I could capture it better with

o___o *stares in amazement* Wow..! I´ve never seen a green goldfish before, but he actually seems gold/green! Huh, I wonder how his color developes in a few month, he looks absolutely fascinating! (and totally cute xD~) Congratulations!

^_^ Thanks! He's beautiful; he's a very interesting color I've never seen before. Technically in koi and goldfish genetics there isn't a 'green' gene, however there are 'green' koi like this one.

I've tried to search for a green goldfish, but no such luck. :) I love him! He's so social!
