Goldeen, I bet you all figured out that it was a goldfish, but did you know what type? After accidently stumbling across a picture of                            what I thought looked alot like this pokemon, I did some more research.        

This is the Tosakin goldfish

   Notice they have alot in common. A long, flowing tail with three parts, the same body shape, and almost identical markings. I have even seen          some pictures of Tosakins with blue eyes, just like a Goldeen. The only thing missing is the horn, which was probaly added onto Goldeen to give it some sort of attack, and well, you just don't see to many goldfish with horns ;P        

        About Tosakin goldfish        

  This fish has an undivided double tail, with the tail splayed sideways and forwards. It was developed in Japan from the ryukin, and is uncommon    outside Japan.         

  Tosakins were bred for viewing from above, and much of the effect of the spectacular tail is lost when viewed from the side. This is the only          recognized goldfish variety with an undivided double tail: the two layers of the tail are split apart and grow separately from each other but are      joined along the top edge (although, in that the tail is splayed sideways, it no longer appears to have a conventional top edge).                                              *info from http://www.bristol-aquarists.org.uk/index.htm*
