Hello Emma. Looks very much like my Shubunkin Goldfish. The Fantails have a much shorter and rounder body.

It’s a very skinny fantail. Shubunkins only have a single tail.
 
calico fantail

fantails have 2 tails.
comets, common goldfish and shubunkins only have a single tail.

the colouration is known as calico, ergo calico fantail.
 
shubunkins only have a single tail.
There are already shubinkin fantails. They're sold overhere in our country besides calico fantails. But you're right that this is a calico fantail.
 
Agree, it's a fantail. Shubinkin have different bodies, more elongated like comets. They are more pond fish vs aquarium fish as they are built to move vs fancies that but wiggle around (exception would be fantails as IME they are the most mobile of the fancy variety).
