Jikin

The Jikin Goldfish, often referred to as the "Peacock-Tailed Goldfish," is a distinctive and rare breed originating from Japan, known for its unique tail formation and striking coloration. This breed is recognized for its graceful, elongated body and the beautiful, splayed fin arrangement that resembles a peacock's tail, giving it an air of elegance in any aquarium setting. Jikin Goldfish are predominantly white with vibrant red accents, often featuring a symmetrical pattern that adds to their visual appeal. These accents are primarily found on specific parts of their body, such as the lips, pectoral fins, and tail, which breeders aim to develop through careful selection.

The breed requires meticulous care to maintain its delicate beauty, often thriving best in well-maintained ponds or tanks that provide ample space for their slow, graceful swimming. Jikins are relatively sensitive to water conditions and temperature fluctuations, necessitating regular monitoring to keep them healthy. They have a calm and peaceful temperament, making them compatible with other similarly tempered fish in community tanks. With their striking appearance, Jikin Goldfish are often prized by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate their rarity and the traditional Japanese standards that define their breeding.
