Origin of Sakura Ryukin
Sakura Ryukin is a goldfish that has recently been recognized as a single species.Originally, only Ryukin with normal scales (ordinary Ryukin) was available to the general public as Ryukin. Transparent scaled Ryukin (Sakura Ryukin, etc.) were not available in the world as "Hanemono".However, from among the same "hanemono," the omnivorous mosaic transparent-scaled goldfish (Edo Nishiki) gave birth to Sakura Nishiki, a red and white transparent-scaled goldfish that has lost its melanin pigments such as asagi-iro and black. The Sakura Nishiki became widely available, and the beauty of Sakura-iro became well known to the general public. As a result, goldfish that had been treated as "honey bees" began to appear more and more in the world. As a result, goldfish with the name "sakura-", which we often see nowadays, have appeared. Sakura Ryukin is one of these goldfish. However, it is not the same as the "hanemono" goldfish of the time.Sakura Ryukin was light in color, so it was crossed with Ryukin and Calico Ryukin to produce Sakura Ryukin, but because of its light color, in order to make the red and white stand out even more, Sakura Ryukin and regular Ryukin were crossed again to produce the Sakura Ryukin that is now available in the world.
