Metallic pearlscales tend to have better finnage but weaker pearling than the nacreous. I read once that pearlscales can only be nacreous. I’m not sure where that came from. Are metallic pearlscales real? Last photo is a nacreous one for comparison.

These kirin ranchu from are going to be part of a telescope ranchu project. A few years ago I crossed a ranchu with a celestial eye pom pom with the goal of trying to inbreed the F1 for a start on telechus. But the spawn was small and turned out to be all males. The F2s would have resulted in fish with small wens and Pom poms. By outcrossing the F1s to these kirin ranchu, the end game fish will be better (better ranchu form, wen and less Pom Pom), but it’s going to take another generation at least to pull off the telescope eyes

These two nuggets made their way to their new homes this week…. This coming Monday will be my last day shipping via USPS until the new year for the well being of the fish. No offense USPS, but the holiday season has expected delays. I will still be shipping via UPS next day.

All siblings here. Cross between a telescope eye oranda and a demekin so most of them have petite wens that could be groomed out.

This is one of my favorites.  Huge fins, red eyes and lips, teeny red and white Pom poms

I realize that everyone, including myself, wants to pick their exact fish when purchasing. This is always a challenge as a hobbyist breeder (vs importer) as the fish from a single spawn can look so similar, but I’m willing to go the extra mile. Buyer’s choice is now available on the raregoldfish website.

This one has one button/matte eye and one metallic eye, but they are symmetric, the fish is big for it’s age and has good coloration. It’s got a great tail too (the photo does not do the tail justice)

This spawn was the first time breeding a telescope to telescope. Usually I’ve crossed telescope to non telescope and had around 25% telescope offspring. This spawn has near 100%. Now available in multiple sizes and grades on raregoldfish.com website

Things are starting to get weird around here.

Probably the most elegant fish we’ve ever bred. Typically we work on the major weirdos of the goldfish world, but these ryukins are top notch great fish.

25/07/2022

One of the most common questions I’ve received about celestial eye goldfish fry is “why aren’t their eyes facing upward?” The overwhelming majority of the time, the answer is “they will eventually as they grow” sometimes however, they don’t turn up and that fish wouldn’t be bred in future lines. Almost all goldfish traits (pearlscaling, bubble eyes, celestial eyes, dorsal humps) take time to develop.

When your heading to the 25th Anniversary Louisville Koi and Goldfish Society show, you stop for lunch in Nashville, and there’s a koi pond…..It’s a good sign!
