....just because it's midnight-thirty and I can't sleep....

I have goldfish: comets, a few commons, a few fantails, Shubunkin, Watonai, Wakin, and a few mutts. I've tried to pay attention to thier body shapes, as I've noticed several different body shapes. It's interesting. I've drawn 3 that I can think of, but this doesn't include the fantails and the mutts. I think the mutts might be what's called "nymphs," Ryukin-shaped, but with a single tail.

What do your goldies look like, viewed from the top? If you have some different shapes, let's see them!

LOL TM, I said the same way, Midnight and a half... that's what I say most of the time and my husband just look at me funny.

I found tons of babies yesterday. Sadly none with watonai or wakin tail. So mine just look like your 3rd pic.. they are tiny still, probably about a week or so old.
