COMMON 
GOLDFISH 
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 gold- 
fish is the parent of all other 
varieties of goldfish. It is not 
red when hatched. About 50% 
color the first year. The uncol- 
ored are usually sold for bait 
for fishing. This variety of fish 
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, pages 24 and 25. 
JAPANESE 
FANTAILS 
HE Fantails which we 
offer for sale should not 
be confused with the long 
bodied Tripod which are often 
called Fantails. Selected Jap- 
anese Fantails are very slow 
swimmers, and are very hard 
to grow and produce. They 
are, however, exceedingly or- 
namental in the pool, and in 
the aquarium no fish will at- 
tract so much attention as will 
the fancy varieties. Japanese 
Fantails have always been 
most highly prized. We pick 
from our enormous production 
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. $.50 to $1.00 per pair. See price list, pages 24 and 25.
