Ayoh for 4 bucks no need to be paisey. Must say heng, because my friend paid so many times more for a similar one from a LFS (the one always claiming their fish from Japan but actually from Thailand and Malaysia). This time really paisey to say how many times more than you fish.

BTW I think your fish more beautiful than my friend's fish.

Japan got meh ? They also import from China one lah. I recalled some sites selling at 300-500 Yen. If re-export out, i rather go for original China one.

I guess I quite in deep love with Panda pattern. Bery chio.

U ever saw a panda bear with golden color ? Panda refer to pure black and white only.

Your 2nd fish is a tie-bao-jin 铁包金 or red/black.

Do check your water parameters, maintain as low N by-product as possible and regular water change. Black coloration is not easy to maintain.

I don't like huge eyes. So scary... Anyway, I know why the Chinese want to breed goldfishes that have huge upturn eyes. So that they will always look up to heaven. tongue.gif Heehee... see I know so many things about goldfish also right?

I do not know much about most goldfish, but so far Tosakin and Butterfly interest me most! I thought Butterfly have divided tails (just like buttlefly)?
Not too sure leh! blush.gif But dont look like the tail is divided?
I always feel that Tosakin's flat and open tail looks elegant!

Fish from Seaview. cheap cheap but my MRT/bus fare more expensive than the fish .... quite small and hidding at a corner among some blue/brown fish.

nope, TVR, not a tosakin tail. Splited one.

Usually blue/brown line should stay quite consistent coloration. Deepen eventually. Hopefully the blue dun come out. Brown is real tough to find.

Tail not strong. Require a lot of attention than ranchu just to keep it in position and even growth on both eyes. That's the challenge of keeping a butt nice.

Tail not the same as tosakin.

buy for you har ? hahahahahahaha in hokkien short form, TKK ...

Nice! It has changed. The eyes look like a different type, while the first ray of its tails was arc but now kinked. unsure.gif But that's the beauty of goldfish; changes.

I thought it was a rare brown fish initially (which is more desirable ?), but now it had darken closer to black ? But then it may be because of the effect of camera's flash ? unsure.gif

Beautiful. Have gone to sea view, QH, mainland recently, just cannot find any good butterfly. Saw one in QH last week with very beautiful tail, unfortunately, one eye big and one eye damn small. Totally out of balance. Was holding the fish and wonder why god so unfair to this beautiful "tail". hahaha

Must be QH remaining fishes all distributed out before CNY and most are skinny one ...

How come u guys paid so cheap one ... i bargan down from $4.50 to $2.80 ... yi fatt yi fatt hahahaha ... somemore must buy a box of bloodworm then give me discount.

other than the tail, the head and eyes not as good leh. only give an average grade to this piece.

not much criteria, just try to know what's a dragon eyes will do and of course a tail of a butterfly.
ball
With a black background, flowing butterfly tail, two bulging eyes, and the angle of the pic, look like a spaceship. Although eyes not big enough, but the colour and tail is enough to make me a happy owner if I were to own it.
