My baby watonai

[Mmathis]

Today he is now pure yellow

All other 4 fish in the pond are all yellow now too. Will see if they will keep their yellow or turn different color. But it's pretty interesting that all of the babies are pure yellow, like the dad eventhough the mom is calico

Genetics in GF is apparently quite unpredictable, at least as far as colors go. Something about GF having a greater number of genes for all possible color and scale-type combos. That does have to be frustrating for breeders.

But, personally, I would love to see a come back of the yellow color! That's what I remember GF looking like when I was a kid.

@Mmathis The sunburst goldfish I got from William Tricker last summer are still yellow. http://www.tricker.com/Item/sunburst-goldfishes


Here is a picture of one of them (not the best shot but you get the idea especially with the red/white to the left of him)

oh wow, that's really yellow! Mine's yellowish/orange (more gold in color than yellow), depending on the light lol. In my indoor tank light it's really yellow but in my pond it's gets more orange ting.

Thanks!! I'm actually very particular about fish when i buy them so I want to know exactly which one i get I wish I could buy cheaper fish but most of the ones that show individual pictures are pretty expensive.

I understand You would not be able to hand pick them online but you would be able to if you went there. It was pretty cool actually. They had rows of vats that were filled with different types and sizes of goldfish and koi (as well as other tropical fish and snails and such) It was hard to just pick a few but that's all I could get away with since the hubby was standing over watching me

If i ever go to Ohio!
I'd love to go pick fish too. Not with my family, mind, or they will be just like your hubby, and i'll feel obligate to pick quickly
