Answer 2

The names of these types of Goldfish can be Oranda, Lionhead, or Ranchu. You can distinguish between the goldfish by looking at the body of the fish. Oranda has a double tail, short round body with a dorsal fin. The Lionhead has a short double tail, short rectangular body with no dorsal fin. The Ranchu has a double tail, egg shaped body and no dorsal fin. The differences between a Ranchu and a Lionhead are the Ranchu has a more curved back and less head growth than a Lionhead.

Eyetype Goldfish

This group of Goldfish is among the strangest of all varieties. The Bubbleye Goldfish is among my personal favorites. I have had great success breeding and showing this variety. I also have some strong views on what a quality specimen should be. If I'm showing Bubbleyes, I prefer short egg shaped specimens. Body depth should be approximately 1/3 to 5/8 the length of the body. I prefer fantail or fringetail type caudals 1/3 to 1/2 the length of the body with a 90% split between each other. The two sacs should be uniform in size and shape. While the sacs should be large, the fish should be able to swim with relatively good deportment. If I'm raising Bubbleyes to be used as a pond fish, I have other requirements. I prefer a longer body (not banana shaped), with long ribbontail caudal finnage. This is a truly beautiful and interesting Goldfish for the pond. However, due to the longer caudal finnage and this type resting more on the bottom, the caudal tends to curl, bend and crimp. So it doesn't make a good show fish unless the caudal is flawless. When raising Bubbleyes, keep them in large, shallow bare tanks with sponge filters. Keep the bottom of the tank clean and free of sharp objects. Keep bubbleyes alone or with Celestials. Other types of Goldfish will get to the food quicker. Sacs should not grow over the eye but under the eye. If the sacs are torn or ruptured they usually will mend. When breeding this type, I've had better success with specimens that have smaller sized sacs. Breeders with larger sacs are inactive and difficult to spawn and may require hand spawning. Like all dorsal-less types, the back should be free of bumps, dips and spikes. Double anal, pectoral and ventral fins are required.

Telescope Goldfish (also known as Demekin) are another bizarre looking Goldfish. They are also much hardier than Bubbleyes or Celestials. The black Telescope is also known as a Moor or Black Moor. The color should be velvet black and free of brass under color. This color is rare today because commercial grade Moors have a lot of brass under color. Hopefully, more hobbyists will obtain and breed quality colored Moors. While these Goldfish are referred to as telescope eyed, the eyes do not telescope. The eyes are actually globe or almond shaped. They can be either shape but they must match. You can't have one globe and one almond shaped eye on the same fish. The eyes must be non-irised. Other colors include orange, red, white, blue, brown, bi-color, calico and matte. The body is short egg shaped to softball shaped. Body depth is 5/8 to 1:1 to the length of the body. Caudal finnage types include fringetail, ribbontail, butterfly and veiltail (broadtail). Caudals should be divided 90% and the length is 5/8 to twice the length of the body depending on what type of finnage it has. While they can be kept with normal eyed Goldfish, they will do better with other Telescopes due to poor eyesight. They must have double anal, pectoral and ventral fins.

Answer 4

Bubble eyes have bubbles around their eyes. Orandas have a thing that could look like a bubble I guess, even though its not, it's called a wen.
