I really enjoy the pattern some #whiteclouds develop after a short time outside. I think in terms of doing the #minipond hobby, this species has much greater potential than #medaka.
Many of the traits you see in medaka comes from 300 years worth of development while #wcmm have only been explored as a #pondfish for maybe 10-15 years. But in terms of desired qualities, #tanichthys hits pretty much every single note unlike the many drawbacks of medaka.
Anyone doing miniponds should try them!
fuck yes! been so worried because the lone female that arrived (with 5 males) has been perpetually pregnant for months yet no fry. none. zilch. should be noted her bag had leaked and had no water when they arrived in the mail, but was somehow alive!
been a bit lonely with no ponds this year but now it looks like #pondseason2025 is back on the schedule!!!! so excited 😁😁😁😁

The flowing shapes these Goldfish make in our pond as they swim, give a feeling of peace and harmony as you watch them. Vibrant orange fish swarm together in a dark water environment, creating a lively aquatic scene.

Just took some new shots of this years breeders (I know I quit, but like with all addictions, it's recommended not to go full cold turkey, right?). Hopefully they'll be a good foundation for the new group in autumn :)

Here are two short videos of the same specimen.
Even if it's not a spotted bicolor, if I can develop a fixed pattern of a blue and gold color profile, that's perhaps even better than a buchi type approach considering its inherent instability. So this is a very interesting specimen for my pursuit of a " Sweden Kabuki " line.
I hope it will yield good results in the end.

Close up of the specimen with full taigaikou. When looking at it up close it appears it does not have a bicolor base body color but rather the taigaikou scales are more transparent in certain areas giving it a golden hue.
