Description

Ping Pong Pearlscale Goldfish Carassius Auratus

Overview: The Pearlscale Goldfish, a fascinating variant of the Carassius Auratus, is renowned for its distinctive, pearl-like scales and rotund body. This ornamental fish, with its charming appearance and peaceful demeanor, makes a delightful addition to any freshwater aquarium.

Origin: Originally from East Asia, the Pearlscale Goldfish has a rich history dating back to ancient Chinese fish cultivation. It has been selectively bred over centuries for its unique scale texture and body shape, making it a symbol of elegance and beauty in aquatic pets.

Feeding: Pearlscale Goldfish are omnivores and thrive on a balanced diet. High-quality goldfish pellets or flakes should form the basis of their diet, supplemented with occasional treats like brine shrimp, daphnia, and blanched vegetables. Overfeeding should be avoided as Pearlscales are prone to digestive issues due to their compact body shape.

Tank Mates: When selecting tank mates, consider peaceful and slow-moving fish that won’t compete aggressively for food. Ideal companions include other fancy goldfish varieties, such as Ryukins or Orandas. Avoid pairing them with fast-swimming or nippy fish to prevent stress and injury.

Aggression: Pearlscale Goldfish are known for their gentle and serene nature. They are not aggressive and prefer to swim gracefully around the tank, exploring their environment in a calm and unhurried manner.

Experience Level: These goldfish are suitable for aquarists of all levels, from beginners to experts. However, due to their unique body shape and scale structure, they require attentive care and a well-maintained environment.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 65-72°F (18-22°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Water Hardness: Moderate
  • Tank Size: Minimum 20 gallons for one, with an additional 10 gallons per extra fish to provide ample swimming space and maintain water quality.

Regular water changes and filtration are crucial to keep the environment clean and healthy. Monitoring water parameters regularly will ensure your Pearlscale Goldfish thrives in its aquatic home.
