Red egg balls
Egg goldfish (certain introduction) is a general term for goldfish with no dorsal fin and normal eyes. Among the fins of goldfish, the dorsal fin plays a stabilizing role, which is crucial for the naturally flat golden crucian carp. The mutation of the goldfish, with a short body and the appearance of four tail fins, may be related to making up for the consequences of dorsal fin decay. This allows goldfish without dorsal fins to swim normally and survive.
The egg type is the most obvious variation among the various varieties of goldfish, and it is also the latest type of goldfish to emerge. Egg species have always been regarded as "high-end" goldfish among Chinese goldfish, and they have attracted much attention since their emergence. The earliest record of goldfish without dorsal fins appears in the ancient and modern classics Anthology of Birds and Insects published in 1726. The article includes a picture of a goldfish. Among the three goldfish painted on the picture, one of them is not dorsal fin. This form of goldfish is still maintained in Japan today. It has a spindle-shaped body shape and no dorsal fin, and is named "Golden Orchid".

The one with short tail is called "egg", and the one with long tail is called "danfeng". The other fins are all short. The high-quality egg-bred goldfish has a slim, arc-shaped back, with the highest point in the center of the back.
