Aurora will be a Japanese goldfish of the Japanese goldfish type that was created as a result of crossbreeding the Edo jikin, which was created by crossbreeding jikin and toshiki, with shubunkin to make it more beautiful. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of Aurora and how to keep it.
What is Aurora Borealis?
Aurora is the result of crossing the Edo Jikin, which was created by crossing Jikin and Higashi-Nishiki, with Shubunkin to make it more beautiful.Aurora is characterized by its body color, which is a mosaic of miscellaneous transparent scales produced by dark and bright asagi, black, and red inherited from Shubunkin, and its long four-tailed tail fins inherited from Jikin and Shubunkin.

Origin of the Northern Lights
Aurora was created by Mr. Yadoru Kawahara, a well-known figure in the goldfish world. Aurora was created by Yadoru Kawahara in the late Showa period (1926-1989), when he crossbred the Edo jikin with the Shubunkin goldfish to make it more beautiful,Initially, he was named "Heisei No. 1" because he was born in the early Heisei period, but a woman who came to ask for Yadoru Kawahara's goldfish suggested that he should be named Aurora Borealis because of its fantastic color and long tail that looked like an aurora, and the name was changed from Heisei No. 1 to Aurora Borealis.This goldfish has an interesting story to tell.
Many people think that goldfish are the goldfish that you see at fairs and festivals in the summer, and that there are many different kinds of goldfish. And it is no exaggeration to say that each type of goldfish has its own characteristics, and that is the best part about goldfish [...]
How to enjoy the Northern Lights
The best way to enjoy the aurora is to see its body color with miscellaneous mosaic transparent scales and its long, beautiful four-tailed tail fins. For those who wish to enjoy them, the method of viewing them from above (top view) is recommended.By viewing it with an upper view, one can fully enjoy the long, beautiful four-tailed tail. In addition, there are two types of Aurora, one with a slimmer body shape than the Shubunkin and the other with a rounder body shape than the Jikin, so you can enjoy the characteristics of each. If you want to enjoy their body color, we recommend viewing them from the side (side view) in an aquarium. If you see them from the side, you can enjoy different auroras from the top if you see individuals with glossy scales that sparkle when illuminated by lights, etc.
Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
When mixing goldfish with other goldfish and other species, there is sometimes uncertainty as to what species is good and what species is not. First,There is no general prohibition against this or that when mixing goldfish with other species.Therefore, depending on the personality and environment of the goldfish you keep, even species that are said to be bad for each other may get along well with each other. However, there is also the matter of compatibility between goldfish. If you put incompatible goldfish together, there is a high possibility that they will fight or that only one of them will monopolize the food. However, as explained in the beginning, there is no prohibition for goldfish, so if you want to mix them, it may be OK to do so. Now, let us explain which goldfish are compatible with Japanese goldfish and which are not.
Compatible goldfish
Goldfish that are most compatible with the Aurora are Ryukin-type goldfish, such as Ryukin and Demekin.Since the aurora is characterized by its tail fins, it is also a pleasure to compare the tail fins of many Ryukin-type goldfish that have the same tail fin characteristics.

Incompatible goldfish
Goldfish that are incompatible with the Aurora are Ranchu-type goldfish such as Ranchu and Edonishiki.Ranchette-type goldfish are not very good swimmers. There is a risk that Aurora will eat the food first. If this happens, only Aurora will grow bigger and bigger, and the Ranchu-type goldfish will remain small. If you really want to mix goldfish, we recommend that you take measures to deal with these problems before you put them in the aquarium.

What to keep in mind when keeping Aurora
Aurora became a hot topic during the Kawahara goldfish boom of the early 2000s. Compared to those days, the price of Aurora has become less expensive,They are not widely distributed and can be expensive in some cases. The Aurora will be a very easy to keep and not much to handle breed.If you are interested in keeping them, you can ask at a specialty store, but since there are very few in circulation, if you have a chance to see them, please enjoy their beautiful appearance that no other goldfish has.
