About
The Orange Pearlscale is one of the most widely sold fancy goldfish varieties, featuring the Pearlscale's characteristic globe-shaped body and prominent dome-shaped raised scales that catch aquarium light with every movement, combined with a vibrant orange coloration. Its near-spherical, almost ball-like body shape is unique and instantly recognizable. Best kept in a species-appropriate aquarium with minimal water flow to support its rounded body form.
Care Guide
Provide powerful filtration and regular water changes. Feed sinking goldfish pellets supplemented with fresh vegetables to prevent digestive issues common in round-bodied goldfish. Avoid strong currents. House only with other slow-moving fancy goldfish. Monitor for swim bladder issues.
