What is this fish please. On anither fish forum im getting told its a pearscale but I have one of those and its nothing like that one. The scales are of normal ones like a goldfish and the body is nowhere near as fat as a pearscale. also someone said its an Orando! Now I know it aint one of them either. I bought it as a ryukin but it dont look like one of them either pmsl.

So please post what you think it is as its real bugging me now.

pearlscale refers only to the bumpy pearlish look to the scales.

this feature can be seen on many types of fancy goldfish.

you can get pearlscale lionheads, or standard lionheads.

you can get pearlscale fantails, or standard fantails.

etc.

you can get calico bubble eyes, or standard gold bubble eyes.
