Good question, not sure if that is the case with goldfish too... Now you got me wondering. The vendors are selling both male and female of what they call "Tricolor".

New arrivals at https://www.chuchugoldfish.com/new-arrivals So I ordered a Tricolor Rosetail Oranda

Ended up placing an order at https://www.chuchugoldfish.com/new-arrivals

Very cool find with the new ‘Red Spot Suriname cichlids’

Got bored so I went for an afternoon drive to Sierra Pets in Renton. Wow, it was bad! 4 employees in store and not a single acknowledgement. I walked around the fish area and there was no customers keeping employees busy, they were just behind the counter talking to each other. The tanks looked...
