Excellent butterfly.  Black pigment is difficult to keep on fish like this, but great overall form regardless of color.

Large Impressive butterfly. with eye-catching color.  Black highlights have been pretty stable while here, but are hard to keep on fish like this.

Striking fish with cute head/face.   Please know that black pigment on metallic fish like this is hard to keep.

Stocky body on this one is the size of a small fist.  Powerful fish in nice dark color.

Super hard to find color…on any variety, especially bubble-eye.  I was lucky to find a few of these for may last shipment, and they’ve been some of the best bubble-eye that I’ve ever had.  Thick, powerful bodies, plus amazing color on this one, including subtle blues.

Hard to find eggfish in lovely sakura color/finish.  Just a few of these available, and they’ve proved to be excellent fish…very robust and active, with nice motion and balance.   This one is especially friendly and responsive.

Pretty color on this one with large eyes.  Know that black pigment on metallic fish can be hard to keep long-term.

STUNNING Color on this one!   ONLY one like it.  Gorgeous fish in nice size.

Very hard to find pompom fish with Telescope eyes.  Just a few of these rare fish available.

Nice profile on this one with high-hump and large fins.

Hard to find in recent years, I was happy to get this batch last month.  This one is especially nice with interesting color pattern.

Celestials have been hard to get in recent years.   I was lucky to get this batch last month, and they’ve been great little fish that show nice potential.  Very friendly and responsive.

 

Spunky ryukin with long tail.  Active young fish with nice potential.

Very hard to find telescope version, especially in nice quality like this one.  Just a few of these available, and this is my favorite.  Great overall fish.

Large powerful tancho with nice head.

Striking contrasty tri-color type markings on this one in narcreous finish.  Nice overall fish that really stands out.

Super cute and spunky young oranda.  Please know that black pigment on metallic fish like this is hard to keep.

This one really stands out in dark bronzy color with orange on the head.

Specially bred to detect potential predators behind it, these are produced to have one eye that faces somewhat backwards.   JUST KIDDING!….I’ve seen many variations on eyes over the years.  Since they are bred for mutations, there are can be lots of different sizes, shapes, and orientations.  That’s also why perfect symmetry is very hard to find, and can even change over time as one eye might grow faster than the other.  This one has an “eye-catching” eye on the left that faces towards the back.  Whether or not it is desirable is entirely subjective, but it is very different and interesting.   Just don’t try and sneak up on this one! : )

I was lucky to get a very nice shipment of red/white butterfly.  They shipped very well, with few problems, and have been extremely hardy and active ever since.  This one is very nice, with lots of personality.
