Tosakin
The Tosakin goldfish, also known as the Curlytail goldfish,
is a true beauty. It is among the most difficult to raise. TThis type should be kept and bred bv experienced
goldfish fanciers. The, caudal finnage is the
unique part of this type. The inner edges of
the caudal fins are webbed together; the
outer lobes turn upward and twist slightly
towards the head. The dorsal fin usually
curls over the back of the body. All the
other fins should be double and relatively short. This type of
goldfish is meant to be viewed from above. They should be raised
in shallow containers with no more than 2 or 3 inches of water
over the height of the body. While all these curlytail type of
goldfish are referred to as Tosakin, most do not have headgrowth.
However, Tosakin Orandas and Telescope Tosakins are produced.
These are difficult to produce due to the
balance problems from the added weight on
the head. However, they are very unique
and beautiful goldfish.
