A cross between your pic and this one is my goal. The deep red on light pink is somehow soothing to me.

I've looked at hundreds of carp, but I'm trying to keep the brood as strong swimmers so all the fantails and fancy goldfish are no-goes.

Breeding goldfish is like breeding chihuahuas imo.

Ideally I'd be cloning, but I don't have the $$$. Breeding is breeding.

>>2180398
how do you expect to build a customer base if you only produce one type of goldfish?

>>2180950
You know limit squares? I'm likely to only get 1/16 of what I'm looking for each brood. The other 15/16? I'd build a refrigerant truck and tank them as feeder fish to Petco.

Bump...how to get these colors as stripes on a strong goldgish?

>>2181819
Get as many fish as possible with red, then cross them with as many fish as possible that have stripes, like >>2180483

For the first couple of generations, don't worry about things like right body shape or small/large fins.

Just get those genes smashed together. Statistically, at least ONE goldfish each generation of 50/50% hybridization of the bloodlines should somewhat resemble the characteristics you desire.

Keep these two original "pure" "parent groups. Keep producing the "first generation" hybrids. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT LATER ON. You want as many of these first generationals as possible, even if they just barely match what you want. Your best friend, keeping bloodlines pure, can also be your worst enemy, too much inbreeding. There's no point in creating a new breed of goldfish if it constantly dies off due to weak immune system, food allergies, or every other fish is born with a gimp fin or fucked up face.

The second stage is to take all of your first generation hybrids and breed them together. Pair them up, one male with one female. Keep a record of each individual fish, take a picture of their markings, write down how successful each one is at producing offspring that match your requirements. After about five generations, randomly swap them all out with new partners. See if the success is due to either the male, or female. After another five generations, match up your best female with the best male, and so forth.

The fourth step requires you keep up with the production of the first generationals. In this step, you take all of your prized second generation hybrid goldfish. Don't pick ones that over all match your requirements, but pick ones that are very strong in a single trait that you want combined with the other traits of your new breed. For instance, one fish has very bold large stripes, but they aren't as bright a red as you desire. Pair them up with a recent first generation hybrid, that has small weak stripes but the right shade of red.

Inbreeding is a huge concern for me, I'm trying to only get only unrelated goldfish to prevent issues down the line
>>Used to work at salmon hatchery
>>All sorts of mutations from generations of breeding only returning hatchery fish and never using wild blood
>>My favorite were the siamese twin Chinook salmon

I was thinking I'd use a breeding technique that doesn't separate the goldfish into pairs. Is there any theory of using a 4000 plus gallon tank to make a goldfish orgy pool? Maybe it would have inch wide mesh a foot from the bottom of the tank so the little ones dont get eaten.

>goldfish orgy pool
You people get up to some strange shit don't you?
