Lionhead goldfish……?

What do young lionhead goldfish look like? I think I may have one but Im not sure. Hes about 3" long and doesnt have a very large head like lionheads, its raised but not huge and puffy-its very smooth looking.

His body looks exactly like that, except for the head and long flowy fins. His fins are short like other fancys.

Any idea what kind of goldfish I have?

    You’ll know if its a lionhead if it has a bumpy head but not to the extent of the oranda, no dorsal fin and its tail is simple split into to parts.

    A fancy goldfish.

    Does he look like this (in shape, not color)?

    Lionhead goldfishes have an arched body, no top fin, and really short dorsal fins. It might be a hybrid goldfish.
