"I'm Spike! My friend, Peter J. Ponzio, over a period of many years gained an appreciation of me and my fellow goldfish. His understanding of us came from many sources including books already written, from the Goldfish Society of America, from the America Goldfish Association, and teachers in the goldfish hobby."

Peter asked me, "Another book on Goldfish - do we really need another book on goldfish?" It's been sometime since a new book on goldfish appeared, and to the best of his knowledge, this is the first book on goldfish that deals exclusively with goldfish varieties, and is written from the point of view of a breeder, collector, and goldfish judge. Hopefully, this perspective will make the book both interesting and informative - and hopefully, lead to an interest in goldfish that will last a lifetime.

The book starts out with an overview of goldfish varieties. The Goldfish Society of America (GFSA) developed a classification system for goldfish into 3 broad categories. GFSA then placed specific goldfish varieties into these 3 categories.

But wait, why not buy the book for yourself? Read all about what characteristics judges look for in identifying and judging any goldfish, and what specific traits all the different varieties must exhibit. It's all there in the book.
