Pearlscale Goldfish small

$24.99

When you take a look at the Pearlscale goldfish, the first thing you’ll notice is its deep round belly! Mature adults can have a perfectly rounded belly that’s similar in shape to the orange fruit

Covering the belly are raised bead-like scales. These scales are nacreous in nature and arranged in rows. They’re actually made out of calcium carbonate deposits. But, they have a translucent and reflective finish that’s similar to pearls, which is how they get their common trade name.

The rounded belly and scales develop as the fish gets older. Juveniles look like normal fancy goldfish by comparison
