It's common, it means that the fish is white. I have a fantail, just like it, with red around both her pupils, so that's nothing to worry about If there's a pink sheen, the fish probably has matte scales, where the pigment cells that create the metallic reflections are missing.

Here are some examples of "real" albino fish

As you can see on the telescope (upper) his pupils are red, and on the oranda (lower) the pupils even have a pink color. So an albino fish is a fish that's lacking pigment. Think about a white bunny!

Tell me, though, how does the blue/silver eye look? More details

i want him

Just Keep Swimming: In that case, he might be a matte fish, simply. With a tad of black in him.
It's normal for calico fish, for example to have different colored eyes, both of mine have pretty funny black spots on their eyes, and on one of them the whole eye is black!

Anyway, is there a way for you to post a pic of your fish?

if you pst then post with clicking on the "reply" button.  Scrolling down a bit you will see another button with "browse" There you can browse for pics in your pc. Click on the chosen pic and its path will appear in that box.
When you submit your post the pics will show up.

hope this helps

HI
Thanks for helping me post these

His eye looks really odd in the first picture, but the only way I could get them both was to take it from a wierd angle, both his eyes are actually the same size
 The second pic is just his red eye.
 

First of all, it's a metallic comet, so it's not even close to an albino fish Second of all, his eyes look normal, but quite interesting nonetheless If a fish turns blind it's rather the black pupil that changes color and not the iris. (The eyes usually get cloudy first as a warning, and if that's not treated, the fish may lose his sight)

Second of all, don't worry about those dots, my white fantail has them too, I guess they have something to do with the color or something And you shouldn't worry about the line, I understood as it's not even a rip in the fin, so that's nothing to worry about! Fish get scarred too from time to time (And I can't really see the tail on the pic)

Comets, and goldfish in general do enjoy company, especially from their own kin, but if you don't have the space, you shouldn't get any more fish just to keep him company. For that you'd have to get a 20 or even 30 gallon tank first! (I'd go for 30 and keep only two, since they're comets). Other than that, try talking to him and cuddling with him! That'll be enough company for now

It's nonetheless a really beautiful fish, and I admire his fins
