      If it doesn't have barbels by the mouth it is a goldfish. Barbels look like fat whiskers and are usually 2 on each side.

      it does have two small whiskers. what its missing is the ventral fins and theres no signs of ever having them.

      It is small fish..and the whiskers will show up in a better pic. Looks like a koi to me but what do I know.

      two whiskers/barbels not 4 = a halfing goldfish/koi cross esp with 2 short whiskers

      they tend to have koi colors/patterns but goldfish body shape esp at full growth are a short fat fish

      many are sterile only a few can breed [maybe the ONLY good point to them]
