Calling all fish experts....help in identifying my fish please.?

Ok so here's my story...bought fat Tony, my godlfish and was told he is a Chocolate Goldfish. Ok cool. Well then upon looking online I "thought" he was a Chocolate Oranda, see link

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cf...

He looks JUST like this except he doesnt have the hood & his tail is longer & prettier. And to add to the puzzle he is now developing eye sacs like a Bubble Eye but of course he's not abubble eye as he has a dorsal fin & in no way is he slow swimmer. Soooo Im confused, wtf kind of fish do I have?? Could he possibly be a cross? I dont have apic of MY fish but if needed I can get one & post it tomorrow. Thanks☺

Update:

Thanks Mary270, but tho his fins/tail are more like a Black Moor his eyes are nothing like a Moor's there is literally a "sac" forming under both eyes, like a bubble eye. Thery are still small but forming none the less....

Update 2:

Just to clarify he does NOT have telescopic eyes, he has sacs starting to form underneath his eyes, his eyes are not raised off his body or changing in any way except as I said there are now bubble eye like sacs growing out from underneath them.

    It could be a black moor with a longer tail, some aren't all black, but a chocolate color. And they have sorta bubbly eyes.

    I would definitely post a pic of your little guy, he could very well be a cross. My store received in a comet gold fish with a fantail tail. It was really weird! So it's possible he could be both!

    What? A hybrid of an oranda and a black moor? Now that's something.You gotta take care of that fish. It is ULTIMATELY RARE.
