About
Jikin (also called Rokurin) is a rare Japanese goldfish variety descended from Wakin, featuring an unusual butterfly-style X-shaped caudal fin and red-and-white (Peacock Tail) or all-red colouration. Rarely seen in Belgium.
Care Guide
pH 7.0–8.0, temp 10–22°C. Hardy relative to most fancy goldfish. The distinctive tail requires low-current tanks. Feed quality goldfish pellets and plant matter.
