THREE SPRINGS FISHERIES 
EILYPONS 
COMMON 
GOLDFISH 
T he common goldfish, as 
the name indicates, is the 
most common of all varieties 
or species of goldfish. It was 
introduced into this country by 
Admiral Ammon in 1874 from 
Asia. The common goldfish is 
the parent of all other varieties 
of goldfish. It is not red when 
hatched. About 50% color the 
first year. The uncolored are 
usually sold for bait for fish- 
This variety of fish 
ing. 
IS 
largely used in aquariums, 
large pools, also in lakes, and 
swampy places in order to 
keep down mosquitoes. 
Their life in the aquarium, depending upon the care given, is from several months to several years. In pools or lakes, 
good healthy stock should live from fifteen to twenty years. Price: Giants, per pair $3.00, dozen $15.00; Young*' 
Giants $1.50 to $2.00 per pair; dozen $8.00 to $10.00. See price list, page 26. 
JAPANESE 
FANTAILS 
T he Fantails which we 
offer for sale should not 
be confused with the 
long bodied Tripod which 
are often called Fantails. 
Selected Japanese Fantails are 
very slow swimmers, and are 
very hard to grow and pro¬ 
duce. They are, however, ex¬ 
ceedingly ornamental in the 
pool, and in the aquarium no 
fish will attract so much atten¬ 
tion as will the fancy varieties. 
Japanese Fantails have always 
been most highly prized. We 
pick from our enormous pro¬ 
duction of many millions of 
fish these selected Fantails 
which we offer you for pools, lakes and show places. Your order placed with us assures you of the best. Remember, 
we are not distributors, but we are producers. Your fish are selected for tail and fin developments as well as for color and 
general shape, and productivity. We offer these selected at $.50 to $1.00 per pair. See price list, page 26.
