Mt. Parnell Fisheries offers single-tailed and fantail types of goldfish Carassius auratus. Koi Cyprinus carpio are also offered in the traditional and butterfly (longfin) varieties. Besides goldfish and koi, we offer rosy red minnows Pimephales promelas, ornamental catfish Ictalurus punctatus, and bullfrog tadpoles Rana catabiensa.

Varieties of Single-Tailed Goldfish

Single-tailed goldfish are available from feeder size (1.5-3") to pool size fish (usually 3-10").

Common "feeder" goldfish
Feeder-sized common goldfish have a short tail and are usually orange in color, but may contain red, white or black.

 

Comet goldfish "pond fish"
The same general body conformation as common goldfish although comets typically have a longer body and longer fins. Comets for pond fish are red-orange colored.

 

Sarasa Comet
Mt. Parnell sarasa comets exhibit excellent red color and patterns on a white background.

 

Shubunkin
Primarily a long-bodied, single-tailed goldfish with a bluish color and spots of yellow, orange, red and black. Our shubunkins were selectively bred from Bristol Shubunkin stock to obtain the excellent color and conformation of the current Mt. Parnell Shubunkin.
