Just sharing my cutie new baby goldie

I started my first tank two weeks ago with two baby goldfish: a black moor and an orange/white calico fantail. I've already been thinking ahead to the time when I'll need to upgrade their tank size, so I thought I might as well get a third goldie while they are still all babies. I saw this little one at the LFS today and decided to bring him home.

He looks like a little seal He is a bit shy but relaxed. He had a swim around looking carefully at everything in the tank and then needed a nap haha. He is tinier than the other two babies, but has a bigger more "butterfly" like tail. Minor spine curvature near the tail, but hopefully that will correct itself as he grows, with better diet and more room to move around.

Also does anyone else have a goldie who likes to sleep with their tummy directly on the gravel? My fantail floats above it, but my black moor likes to sleep on the gravel, which I thought can't be very comfortable. So I bought some moss today and made a little "bed" for him in his favourite sleeping corner (second pic). I know he probably doesn't really need it, but it makes me feel better

 

He's so cute! Love the little speckles

 

It's so cute! I love the coloring.

 

He’s very cute & his spotted colouring is quite unusual I hope he keeps it & it doesn’t change as he matures

He's very sweet, already starting to come up to the glass with the other two to get attention from mummy. I'm finding they're all very needy

I hope the pattern stays the same too but he's still so tiny that I wouldn't be surprised if it changes a bit as he gets bigger. I think there were one or two others in the same tank with similar spotting, but they had more of an orange undercolour.
