my Ryukin

I had no idea how hard it would be to take pics of the big fish, I definitely need a better camera.

I have found videos so much better than pics with gf.......

That is a very impressive tail, as well as good calico color.

The other side- I don't currently have a camera that does video, unfortunately.

Nice fish, grats

Wow! That is what I call a "fish tail"!

Thank you all-

Unfortunately one anal fin turns out quite a bit, and the tail has a small bend in it on the top left side, otherwise finnage is pretty, and I've never seen a Ryukin with a tail like this. It's just my nice pet, with a personality like a dog and is an active swimmer. I like this fish a lot.

Nice fish I like the body shape and the nice calico colors and that's some crazy tail it's like a Rooster tailed Ryukin.

Here are the two I picked up at NWKG show on Sunday. I enjoyed that show so much, there were some really amazing fish there. Once again really bad photo quality, I'm sorry for that.

You picked a couple of beauties I especially like the first one.
Looks like your eye's are becoming trained to spot nice fish.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Thank you for your kind comments. I agree, the red is a better fish, to my untrained eye it has a better and deeper body, rounder shape, finnage is even and paired nicely. I loved the color of the red and white, even though it isn't as nice a fish.

The best part is that all three fish are very happy together, the calico is no longer alone.
