Born to be round: pearlscale goldfish

What's cuter than a sweet little goldfish? A sweet, round little goldfish. I shall introduce you to a particular variety that is born to have a "golf ball" appearance, the pearlscale:

Cute little thing, huh? Due to their body shape, they tend to be slow swimmers and tend to be best kept with other "fancy" varieties of goldfish, so that competition for food is equal. Their name, as you might be able to guess, comes from the round white covering on top of each of their scales.

"Can't... get up..."

Love them :)

There, I proved you wrong, didn't I? Who knew there were so many moody little birds. Maybe they're tired of being called cute.

I'm afraid I don't know the species of the birds that aren't captioned, but feel free to enlighten me...
