Ah, thank you.

I might disagree with the "unfortunately" part, I don't care for the
distorted shapes. As soon as these resolve their health problems they
are going back to the dealer.

I have seen 24 fry so far, and not one with a double tail. Seems like
there should be a few, anyway.

they all are straight, like normal goldfish. When do fantails develop
the distorted body shape? Or do I have a bunch of normal fish now?

thanks
