Carassius auratus
Origin: Captive bred
The Egg Phoenix (Eggfish Phoenix) is a rare Chinese variety with a smooth, egg-shaped body lacking a dorsal fin and a dramatically long, flowing split tail. This tricolor example displays red, white, and black in a striking mosaic pattern. An exquisite collector's goldfish demanding pristine water conditions and careful husbandry.
Provide excellent filtration and pristine water quality — fancy goldfish without dorsal fins are particularly susceptible to swim bladder issues. Feed sinking or pre-soaked pellets exclusively to reduce air intake. House only with other slow, similarly proportioned fancy goldfish. Avoid sharp decorations. Regular water changes essential.
