FOUND: An LA photojournalist has dubbed this little guy Masta Fug. www.davidzentz.com. FACT: The Celestial eye goldfish or Choten gan is a double-tailed breed of fancy goldfish.
Celestials first appeared as a direct mutation of the Telescope goldfish in the 18th century. Competing traditions lay claim as to exactly where this happened first, Korea or China.
Despite their limited vision and their lack of a dorsal fin, they are active and agile swimmers. They do require some special attention since, apart from sporting easily damaged upward-oriented eyes, and having limited vision, they are also sensitive to cold water temperatures. They are unable to compete with more vigorous goldfish for food. Sharp ornaments and objects in the aquarium are contraindicated. They are best kept with other limited-vision breeds (i.e the Bubble Eye) or in a tank of their own www.wikipedia.org

REACTION: A goldfish?! Forget those boring, plain looking things that your superior hand-eye coordination wins you at the carnival, call Korea, call China, get me those bubble fish!!
