The hana-busa is a goldfish in which the nuchal folds of the nose become enlarged and develop into large clusters. Although it has a greater impact than other goldfish, it is not well known. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the hana-busa and how to keep it.
What is Hanabusa?
The flower cluster is a goldfish that develops into a large tuft by enlargement of the nuchal fold, the part of the nose called the nuchal fold.Flower clusters are often found on varieties such as the Japanese orchid Lion's Head, Chakin, and Ranchu. Those with a characteristic that is attached to the nostril folds but looks like a cluster of several tufts of rounded hairballs are called "nasal tufts. A nasal tuft that is shaped like a chrysanthemum flower is called a "floral tuft.

Origin of the flower cluster
There are many unknowns regarding the process of creation of Hanabusa. Hanabusa was born in China and came to Japan.The Ise Hanabusa was produced in the Ise region of Japan (present-day Mie Prefecture) around 1897. Since the Ise Hanabusa was a Dutch-type flower cluster, a flower cluster of a variety with a dorsal fin is called a Japanese Hanabusa, while a flower cluster of a variety without a dorsal fin is called a Chinese Hanabusa.However, most of the flower clusters distributed today are produced in China. In some cases, the Japanese variety is distinguished from the Chinese variety as "flower clusters" and the Chinese variety as "mustaches.
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 Hanabusa
The best way to enjoy the flower clusters is to view them from the side (side view), such as in an aquarium, rather than from above (top view). To enjoy the foci that enlarge in the nostril folds, it is recommended to view them from the side (side view), such as in an aquarium, rather than from above (top view).By viewing it with a side view, you can see the shape of the flower cluster and how it resembles a chrysanthemum flower. If you want to see if the left and right sides of the flower cluster are even, we recommend that you view it from the top. A beautiful flower cluster is characterized by even sides, a firm center, and a rounded silhouette of the flower cluster itself, so if you want to know if it is a beautiful flower cluster, it is better to view it from the top and the side.
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 Hanabusa are Dutch-type goldfish such as Azuma Nishiki (Azuma Nishiki) and Tanchou (Tanchou).Many goldfish with flower clusters are Dutch-type goldfish, so we recommend that you use similar Dutch-type goldfish as they are less likely to fight with each other. If you see a goldfish being pecked by a flower cluster, please evacuate the goldfish immediately.

Incompatible goldfish
Goldfish that are incompatible with Hanabusa are Japanese goldfish, such as Wakin (Japanese goldfish) and Comet (Japanese goldfish).The nose, which is a characteristic of the flower cluster, is difficult to put back on if it is removed. If the nose is poked by an agile species such as the Japanese goldfish, the nose may come off, so please try to avoid putting it in as much as possible. If you are mixing goldfish with Japanese goldfish, be sure to keep an eye on them to make sure they are not chasing after the goldfish in the flower cluster.

Points to keep in mind when keeping flower clusters
Although flower clusters exist as a variety, it is not uncommon for them to be sold as flower clusters. For example, Ryukin-type goldfish with flower clusters are usually sold under the trade names "Ryukin" or "Calico. Also, there are rare goldfish with flower clusters among the smaller sized and less expensive goldfish in aquariums. If you see a goldfish with a flower cluster, please try to keep it.One thing to keep in mind when keeping goldfish with flower clusters is that if the flower clusters are removed, they will not be restored. The risk increases relative to the size of the flower cluster. Therefore, we recommend that you avoid keeping goldfish in places with strong water flow to prevent the flower clusters from coming off.The main product is flower clusters, which are very hard to come by and rarely seen, but if you are interested in keeping them, please ask a specialist.
