A chart shared by a member of the Goldfish Forum detailing the lineage of goldfish based on the Japanese system. There are many names that are unfamiliar to the casual or even seasoned enthusiasts. Below is a grossary and description of the names that I managed to pick bits and pieces from everywhere:
