What Kind Of Fish Is This

Looks like an oranda goldfish...not that I have ever kept any yet, apparently there are some newer color morphs and such. Check out a page of fancy goldfish by clicking HERE to see if one matches yours.
 
errr thanks for that but mine dosent look like any of them mines is much slimmer lol and has notthin on its head its just a very flat head lol
 
Orandas grow their wens (the stuff on their heads) as they get older. Juvenile orandas often have no notceable wen at all.

I can't tell from your pic whether it's an oranda, fantail or telescope (does it have telescope eyes like a black moor?)
If it has telescope eyes it's a telescope. Orandas can be differentiated from fantails by the body shape, even in the absence of a wen and I think orandas have blunter faces while fantails are slighlty more pointy. Also, fancy goldfish get chubbier as they get older too, so just because yours isn't now, doesn't mean it won't be. I am assuming it is young? How big is it?
 
my lil chap is about 2 inches or summit an its eyes are preatyy flat on it head what do you mean blunt face?
