What is a name for an 8 finned goldfish?
Goldfish have 1 dorsal fin, 1 caudal fin, 1 anal fin, 2 pectoral fins and 2 ventral (pelvic) fins. They do not have a spiny Dorsal or an adipose fin so that makes them a 7 finned species. Breeders have devloped goldfish with different types of split Caudal (tail) fin but they are still single fins. These "sports" are commonly called Veiltailed, or Fantailed fish. (There are many other names of "goldfish sports" too). To the best of my knowledge they do not however have 8 fins. They have seven fins but the tail has been modified by selective breeding to look like more than one fin. (Breeders have also developed a type that has no dorsal fin which makes it a 6 finned fish).
