🐟 Assorted Pearlscale Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Raised, Pearl-Like Domed Scales • A Round, Golf-Ball Body • A Charming, Jewel-Like Fancy Goldfish
📋 The Pearlscale Goldfish is one of the most unusual and charming fancy goldfish, with thick, raised, domed scales that shine like rows of tiny pearls across its body. Its round, golf-ball shape and flowing double tail give it an adorable, waddling swim. Our assorted selection brings a mix of colours, from red and orange to calico, white and red-and-white, so every fish is unique.
It's a captive-bred fancy goldfish, developed in China. Every Assorted Pearlscale Goldfish we ship is feeding well.
This is a gentle, peaceful fish that paddles happily around the tank and makes a delightful, characterful pet. It's best kept with other slow-moving fancy goldfish in a smooth, soft-decorated tank that protects its pearly scales, and it grows up to 15cm, so an 80L tank suits it well.
