Looks like an oranda with xs head growth - maybe it's my bad eyesight & tiny laptop screen combined but where are the eyes? Would need to get a vet onto that. Stunning colour.
Have to say though that it is not fair to keep goldfish in a biorb, even the 60L one, you are storing up a load of problems - if you search the site under biorb you will fnd all the tales of woe ...

Oh dear, sorry to post this, but I'm sure I read on the coldwater section that 2 goldies need at least 200 litres. Biorbs are awful, very little surface area and terrible filtration. I think you may need a much larger upgrade ASAP!

Ditch the biOrb! I had used mine for about a week and then joined this forum and realised I'd made a big mistake. I took it back to Pets@Home and said it wasn't suitable. They gave me a full refund. Now I have a 200 litre set up with external filter for a few quid more. Of course you don't have to ditch the biOrb you could get a small shoal of tropical fish and a heater, but it's certainly not big enough for two goldfish and an oranda, and it will cause you a lot more hassle in the long run with cycling and filtration problems.
