How to enjoy the Pearl Scale

pearl_3

The best way to enjoy pearl scale is how to appreciate its most distinctive feature, its beautiful pearly scales. If you want to appreciate the beautiful scales, it is recommended to view them from the side (side view) in an aquarium rather than from the top (top view) in a pot. By viewing from the side, you can appreciate not only the beautiful pearly scales, but also the changes in the raised and un-raised parts of the scales and the shadows that are created by the changes in the lighting.And we recommend the side view because you can also enjoy the rounded body together. By viewing from above, the roundness of the pearlescale can be seen from a different angle, so if you are tired of viewing from the side, I recommend you give it a try.

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

The goldfish most compatible with the Pearl Scale are Ryukin-type goldfish such as Ryukin and Calico Ryukin.Ryukin-type goldfish are characterized by their tail fins, so it is a pleasure to mix various species and compare their tail fins.

If they are mixed with Japanese goldfish, please be aware that the Pearlescent Scale may be eaten by other Japanese goldfish and the difference in body size may cause them to become separated from each other. Also, when keeping Pearlescale with Japanese goldfish, you should always watch to see if they are chasing and messing with the Pearlescale, since they may mess with the scales, which is a characteristic of Pearlescale.

Points to keep in mind when keeping pearlescale

pearl_4

The Pearl ScaleThe uneven parts of the scales, which are the most distinctive feature, are made of calcareous material that adheres to the scales. Therefore, the structure of the scales is different from that of ordinary scales, and they are easier to remove than ordinary scales. Therefore, when keeping Pearl Scale, please be careful not to put too much stuff in the container (e.g., aquarium).This is because calcareous scales can easily peel off if they get caught on the corners of ornamental decorations. Also, once the calcareous scales are peeled off, they do not grow back, so please be careful as once they are peeled off, that is all there is to it. Also, since this variety is sensitive to changes in water temperature, we recommend that you take extra precautions during periods when the water temperature changes drastically.
