Rykuin Goldfish are bulbous in body with a "pot belly", markedly elongated finnage, and a hump between the head and dorsal fin. Hardy and long-lived, they can survive cooler temperatures. Extended periods below 60º F or above 80º F may not be tolerated well. 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 Red Ryukin: Small 1 to 2 inches, medium 2.5 to 4 inches
