🐟 Calico Ryukin Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
A Vibrant Calico Patchwork of Colours • A Bold, High-Arched Back • A Long, Flowing Double Tail
📋 The Calico Ryukin Goldfish carries a vibrant calico patchwork of orange, red, white, blue and black, speckled with dark spots, over a deep, rounded body with a bold, high-arched hump rising behind the head and a long, flowing double tail. This colourful form of the Ryukin combines a striking profile with a painterly pattern, and every calico is unique.
It's a captive-bred fancy goldfish, developed in China and Japan. Every Calico Ryukin Goldfish we ship is feeding well.
This is a lively, friendly, peaceful fish that glides gracefully around the tank and quickly learns to come to the front at feeding time. It's one of the hardiest fancy goldfish, thriving in a spacious aquarium with other fancy goldfish, and it grows up to 20cm, so a 100L tank suits it well.
