The Dragon Eyes Butterfly remains one of China's most underrated goldfish — a hardy variety and the symbolic embodiment of the auspicious dragons in oriental culture.
Viewed from above, its tail unfolds into a flawless, butterfly-like spread, a trait notoriously difficult to perfect, making high-quality specimens exceptionally rare. Beautiful also from the side, its broad, flamboyant fins sway with the elegant, drifting motion of a silk banner.
This is a beauty that cannot be rushed. Unlike Ryukins or Orandas, the Dragon Eyes Butterfly resists aggressive growth. Pushing them too hard causes tails to curl and compromises their body balance. The finest specimens are never mass-produced; they are patiently cultivated, making each one a perfect living work of art. 🥰
