About
A calico-patterned Lionhead with nacreous scales producing a multicoloured mosaic of red, white, blue, and black. The large wen and straight-backed profile are characteristic of the breed. An attractive and personable goldfish that thrives with similarly-bodied tankmates in cool, well-filtered aquariums.
Care Guide
House in a well-filtered aquarium of at least 120 L with cool, well-oxygenated water (10–22°C). Avoid fast-swimming companions. Feed high-quality sinking goldfish pellets and occasional vegetables. Clean the wen area regularly to prevent debris accumulation. Perform weekly 25% water changes.
