Red/white Ryukin

These Japanese-style goldfish are famous for the dramatic humped back that develops as they mature. They bring a lot of energy to a tank, weaving through the water with their pointed heads and flowy double fins. This specific red and white variety offers a classic aesthetic, often showing bold patches of cherry red against a crisp white base. They are quite hardy for a fancy goldfish, though their deep-bodied shape means they do best with high-quality sinking pellets to prevent buoyancy issues. Watching a group of these interact is a great way to add movement and personality to a dedicated cold-water setup.

• Prefers a tank with at least 20-30 gallons of space to accommodate their rounder body shape.
• Best kept with other slow-moving fancy goldfish to ensure they get their fair share of food.
• Thrives in clean, well-oxygenated water with a consistent filtration routine.
• Requires a diet rich in fiber and sinking foods to help support their unique anatomy.
