The Calico Ryukin is distinctive, even from other calico varities. Rykuin Goldfish are bulbous in body with a "pot belly", markedly elongated finnage, and a hump between the head and dorsal fin. Hand-selected for unique coloration and overall superior health, these exotic goldfish are tended to by the PetSolutions husbandry staff following their importation. While flake food will suffice for these fish, many aquatic professionals recommend a good-quality pellet food of no more than 30% protein to help keep these premium specimens in ideal health.

Approximate arrival size for Calico Ryukin: Small:1 to 2 inches; Medium 2.5 to 4 inches
