After nearly two years with two bachelors I was given another chance at this line. It is a very subtle fish that often get passed by in the fishroom but once it catches someones eyes even the uninitiated fish keeper finds the beauty in this ancient line. I was given about 100 fry, which are now sorted into the good fish and the not so good fish. Normally the not so good fish would be culled but there's enough space in the goldfish garage for them to live out their lives... just in case. Many of the "culls" have bent fins that look to be more developmental than genetic in nature. Keeping them around just because.
Sorry for the grainy blurry images but they just wouldn't pose, and the iPhone camera is not the fastest in dim light. Maybe in a year or two I can finally get my own going. Currently they are dinning on daphnia/moina, mosquitoes and live bloodworms (chronomids) with the occasional glass worm.
