GoldFish ID??

[arcab4]

saw these at my LFS. They were LARGE....and some color variations I never seen before. Just wondering if these are something special or they're just a color morph of a regular goldfish but just giant in size.

1st: looks good size ryukin ref: File:Goldfish Ryukin.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2nd and 3rd : Black is telescope eye and third is mix or calico and telescope eye File:GoldfishDroganeys.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

4th&5th: again ryukin with different pattern.

This all look like mix breed or sport breed between ryukin, calico and telescope goldfish.

Yikes! How do they swim? LOL

lolz they waddle and vibrate ferociously in order to swim. its quite funny watching these. i see ones like em at a fish store i go to. That black telescope eye might be a body morph of a black moor. /we it is that really fat body morph with the hump in front of the dorsal is for some reason concidered show-quality. needless to say people started to breed these body types and enter them in competitions... Nothing like the sight of 100+ wiggling fat blobs of diff colors in a show room u_u
the appeal of these shapes excapes me ...then again im a fan of ranchu sume how

Actually i read somewhere, this types of fat ryukins,moors etc cannot breed by themselves and almost all of them are hand-breeded or they have to be cross-breeded with some swift-swimming calico or fantail or something similar. Thats why i guess, all pics seem to be off-springs of some type of cross-breed spawning etc.

i can imagine theyre diff to breed. hand breeding although wrong, is prolly used like you said. still they do make more of these :[
