Can anybody guess what this guy is?

can you understand why I rescued him and the 3 others?

ya! I'm not sure if he'll live a long life (about 10yrs is normal), as his growth is horribly stunted & the stress he went under was quite bad.. How did you get ownership over them? DO you know what the others are?

I know the other two are goldfish for sure.But one of those goldfish died all ready. Well what happened was the teacher was looking for homes for them and I didn't want them going to bad homes, some high school student you never know. He got guppies instead which is still not a good thing. Is it ok for him to be with the goldfish, is it ok if the goldfish might eat his food?

the goldfish will be just fine eatting his food. The only thing with Goldfish is that they are very dirty & can make tank mates ill... But the biggest worry is, is that when the Jewel matures & becomes healthy & happy, he will more then likely start to kill the goldfish.

It might be best to find someone with an outdoor pond & donate them to them. Its not right to keep goldfish in a tank as they do get VERY large. OR you can buy a nice pond & put them in your backyard. If the pond is more then 5 feet deep, the fish can live in there all winter long.. Just add a heater to keep the ice thin, so when u need to feed them, you can break the ice & pour in some sinking food,

I want to find a home for this little guy anyway, but I don't know where to start looking. I don't know anyone with a pond, except for my great aunt that like about 2 hrs away(but she has lots of goldfish.) Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
