The top fish is a common fantailed goldfish.
The bottom fish is a regular comet.

The first pics - with the hump behind the head look like ryunkins. The second one looks like a comet (looks like it may stay copper colored), and the third group looks like veiltails (no hump behind the head). Orandas have the big growth all over their heads, so if the third group is orandas, they should have growth showing on their heads, almost like a lions mane (Orandas are sometime called lionheads).

I thought Lion Heads and Orandas were different species? *shrugs*

If the top pic is infact a ryukin, it is a poor quality one, ideal specimens are nearly diamond shaped. But, unless you're planning on showing the fish, that doesn't really matter!

Lion heads and orandas are different species, I just meant that sometimes they are labeled wrong at fish stores... www.goldfishinfo.com has a pretty good list of the different varieties of goldfish. the veiltails are similar to fantails - eggshaped body with a double tail that hangs like a veil.
