I was looking at the walmart tanks (of all places) and I seen this brilliant silver and black goldfish with bright red tips on his fins, and as I was looking at him, another customer came up and bought him.
Well, since I seen one pretty one, I decided to keep looking... And I had another goldfish catch my eye... One with no...

See-through goldfish could be used for research purposes, or make an expensive pet

Japanese researchers have successfully developed a transparent goldfish.
The clear goldfish allows observers to see the tiny fish's beating heart, which allows scientists to observe living creatures and reduces the numbers of dissections.

"You can see a live heart and other organs because the scales and skin have no pigments," said Yukata Tamaru, Mie University...

Goldfish also like planted tanks. To most of these omnivorous piggies, plants mean food. Before you know it your beautiful green plant may soon look something like a winter tree

By Jo
The greatest advancement in koi and goldfish healthcare is the use of injectable medicines. Injections allow administering a known dose of medication into the fish (where it's needed) and can be used even if a fish has stopped eating.

There are times when a when a fish should not be injected (e.g. the fish is so close to death that it cannot remain upright, breathing is very laboured and the fins are red, etc)...

Scalation – Three basic types of scalation occur in goldfish: metallic,
matte, and nacreous.
a. Metallic – Has a shiny, reflective appearance, much like a metal
object, hence the name metallic. The shiny appearance is caused
by the presence of guanine in the scale.
b. Matte – Scales which lack the reflective guanine layer, leading to a
dull or non-reflective appearance.
c. Nacreous – A scale type which combines characteristics of the
metallic and matte scale...
