My girlfriend’s son “won” Mr. Tibs here at a carnival 3-4 years ago. We didn’t think that scrawny little goldfish he would survive the ride home let alone turn into monster you see now years later. The carnies told us he was a “fancy goldfish” and I never questioned it until today.
We were at the pet store earlier picking up a larger tank since he’s clearly overgrown the current one. While shopping I was checking out their fish and trying to figure out what kind of goldfish we have specifically. None of what I saw there or online matches up. A comet goldfish looks the closest to me in shape and size but less robust. The employee helping us said he looks more like a juvenile Koi than a goldfish. So what do y’all think, just a big golden boy or some kind of koi?
