About
The Butterfly Tail Red/White Goldfish has a unique tail fin that, when viewed from above, resembles a butterfly's wings spread open. The clean red-and-white coloration highlights the elegant fin form. Best appreciated in a shallow display tank or tub pond. A highly prized form popular at specialist goldfish events across the Benelux region.
Care Guide
Best displayed in a shallow tank or tub where the butterfly tail can be viewed from above. Provide excellent filtration and regular water changes. Keep at 10–22°C with good oxygenation. Feed sinking or pre-soaked pellets. House only with other slow fancy goldfish. Avoid sharp decor.
