Metal Black Tail Guppies are striking, selectively bred guppies known for:– Deep, solid black caudal (tail) fin — often velvety and opaque
– Metallic sheen on the body, usually silver, platinum, or steel‑blue
– Males: slimmer, more colorful, with longer flowing fins
– Females: larger, rounder, with shorter fins and a subtler metallic shine
– Active, peaceful swimmers that stand out beautifully in planted tanksThe contrast between the metallic body and the jet‑black tail is what makes this strain so eye‑catching.

LIVE FISH, FANCY
Calico Ryukin Fancy Gold Fish
The Calico Ryukin goldfish is a popular and visually striking variety of goldfish, known for its unique coloration and distinctive body shape. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:.
1. Coloration (Calico):
– Calico refers to a multi-colored pattern that typically includes a mix of red, orange, black, white, and sometimes blue patches.
– The colors are often speckled or mottled, giving the fish a vibrant and eye-catching appearance.
– The black patches are a key characteristic of calico goldfish, distinguishing them from other color varieties.
2. Body Shape (Ryukin):
– The Ryukin goldfish has a deep, egg-shaped body with a pronounced hump on its back, just behind the head.
– It has a high dorsal fin, a long, flowing double tail (caudal fin), and paired pectoral and pelvic fins.
– The Ryukin’s body shape is more rounded compared to the sleeker Common or Comet goldfish
3. Size:
– Ryukin goldfish can grow to be 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in length, though some may grow larger in optimal conditions.
– Their size depends on factors like tank size, diet, and overall care.
4. **Temperament**:
– Calico Ryukins are generally peaceful and social, making them suitable for community tanks with other fancy goldfish varieties.
– They are not fast swimmers due to their rounded body shape, so they should not be kept with more agile fish that might outcompete them for food.
### 5. **Care Requirements**:
– **Tank Size**: A minimum of 20 gallons for one Ryukin, with an additional 10 gallons for each additional fish.
– **Water Quality**: They require clean, well-filtered water with a temperature range of 65-75°F (18-24°C). Regular water changes are essential.
– Diet: A balanced diet of high-quality goldfish pellets, flakes, and occasional treats like bloodworms, brine shrimp, or blanched vegetables.
– Tank Setup: Provide plenty of open swimming space and avoid sharp decorations that could damage their delicate fins. Live or silk plants can be added for enrichment.
6. Lifespan:
– With proper care, Calico Ryukin goldfish can live for 10-15 years or even longer.
7. Breeding:
– Breeding Calico Ryukins requires a separate breeding tank and careful selection of healthy, mature fish.
– They are egg-layers, and the fry will need special care and feeding until they develop their colors and body shape.
The Calico Ryukin is a favorite among goldfish enthusiasts due to its stunning appearance and graceful swimming. If you’re considering keeping one, ensure you provide a suitable environment and proper care to keep it healthy and thriving!SKU: n/a -
