I reckon Ninja hit the nail on the head with this one, hybrid, common carp with a bit of goldfish in there, a few generations back.
Here is another fantail picture, that CarpQuest fan, Kyle Jeffrey sent me a while ago, they really are a pretty fish ! I don't see that many reports of them, so pretty rare capture...
It was caught in a small neighborhood pond. I would guess that a lot of household goldfish pets spent the latter years in this pond. This is my theory. I guy who also fishes this pond said that he has caught a few of these over the years. From the pic, any guess on how old this fish is?
