For a long time I've been considering ordering some quality goldfish (particularly short tail ryukin goldfish) from a specialty dealer. As of now I've never kept my favorite kind goldfish variety, the short tail ryukin, but thanks to Coast Gem USA, my first two calico short tail ryukins are coming on Wednesday in the mail. I'm excited and super nervous for their arrival as I've never ordered fish and I hope I don't mess up on acclimating them. The customer service at Coast Gem USA was great, sending me close-up pictures of the fish I pointed out in their videos and pictures of their tanks. It was a great way to pick out the very specific look I wanted. From the pictures I'm pretty sure my fish are a male and female fish, but we'll see once I can get a look at them live. I'll keep my blog updated on the experience.
In short tail ryukins I look for a high back and deep body. These two are just babies, but from what I see they have a lot of the qualities I like and I'm excited to see them grow.
Here are pictures of the two fish I ordered:
I can't wait to meet them!
