Fancy Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are the result of centuries of selective breeding, transforming the humble goldfish into living ornaments in countless shapes, finnage styles, and color patterns. Our fancy goldfish for sale collection features the most popular and sought-after varieties, including Oranda, Ranchu, Ryukin, Pearlscale, Telescope, Black Moor, Bubble Eye, Celestial Eye, Lionhead, Pom Pom, Butterfly Tail, Shubunkin, and classic Sarasa Comets — available in red, calico, panda, red & white, tricolor, chocolate, and red cap color forms.
Unlike their hardy single-tail cousins, fancy goldfish are slow swimmers with delicate finnage and benefit from well-filtered, well-oxygenated tanks of at least 20–30 gallons for the first fish, with another 10–15 gallons added per additional fish. They prefer cooler temperatures (65–75°F), benefit from sinking pellets to support digestion, and do best housed with other fancy varieties of similar size and swimming ability. Smooth décor and gentle filtration help protect their flowing fins, telescoping eyes, and wen growths.
Each goldfish is graded for body shape, color, and finnage before shipping, and every order is backed by our 8-day live arrival guarantee. From beginner-friendly Orandas and Ryukins to show-quality Ranchu and Pearlscale, you'll find a fancy goldfish here for every aquarium.
