A Living Myth in Your Aquarium Bring home the ancient beauty of the "Kirin." Named after the mythical dragon-horse of East Asian folklore, this male Ranchu features a stunning mosaic of metallic scales. His coloration is a deep, armored mix of charcoal blacks, burnished golds, and steely blues—a true showstopper for any fancy goldfish collection.
Physique & Personality
- Body Shape: This male features a robust, egg-shaped body with a smooth distinct curve (no dorsal fin) and a thick, sturdy peduncle (tail base).
- Wen (Head Growth): Nice development on the hood and cheeks, giving him a cute, "chubby" face that Ranchus are famous for.
- Behavior: He is an active swimmer with a healthy appetite, showing great balance in the water.
⚠️ Condition Note: Transparency Guarantee Please note that this specific male has minor pinholes on the two front pectoral fins. This is a purely cosmetic imperfection common in imported fish. It does not affect his swimming, balance, or overall health. With clean water and good care, these often heal over time or remain stable without issue. We have discounted the price to reflect this cosmetic trait.
