Description
Key Characteristics
- Origin: Bred in China to mimic mythical lion-dogs and later introduced to Japan.
- Headgrowth (“Wen”): Features a prominent, raspberry-like fleshy hood and fat cheeks that cover the head and gill plates.
- Size & Lifespan: Grows up to about 6 inches (approx. 15 cm), and can live anywhere from 10 to 20+ years with proper care.
- Colors: Available in orange, red, white, blue, black, chocolate, and calico/multi-color patterns.
Care & Management
- Vision Care: The massive headgrowth (“wen”) can occasionally grow large enough to obstruct the fish’s vision or eyes, requiring careful monitoring or trimming.
- Tank Mates: Best kept with other slow-swimming fancy goldfish (like Ranchus or Orandas) rather than fast-swimming common goldfish, so they can compete effectively for food.
