Picture of the Rare Black Goldfish

I've spoken about the black goldfish that is hard to see, shy and elusive. This afternoon I was crossing the bridge pond (yep, I used the bridge) when low and behold I spied this elusive creature.

I took about 10 pictures of "Blackie" and this is the best one. For your viewing pleasure:

Of course it's hard to see even though Blackie is the largest fish in the pond!  It wouldn't be elusive if it was as bright as the orange goldfish.  If your having trouble spotting Blackie s/he is just above the tail of the orange goldfish. Blackie has it's head under a rock and it's belly is a pale orange almost a gold color.  Hmmm, imagine... a gold goldfish :-)

"Head under a rock"- sounds to me it must be a teenager fish.
