As its name suggests, the deme-kin is a goldfish with its left and right eyes popping out. Although it is one of the most well-known goldfish, few people know that it is an attractive goldfish with a variety of body colors. In this article, we would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the dekomekin and how to keep them.
What is dekomegane?
As you can guess from its name, the deme-kin is a type of goldfish with its left and right eyes popping out of its head. It is one of the most well-known goldfish because of its striking appearance.The characteristic eyes do not appear immediately after hatching. The eyes gradually appear about 3 months after hatching. The body features are similar to those of the Ryukin. There was a time when the dekomekin was called shina kinyo (shina goldfish). The word "shina" refers to a part of China. In other words, it was called shina-kinyo in the sense that it was a goldfish from China. Recently, however, the name has changed to dekomegane because of its appearance and ease of calling.
The Ryukin is a goldfish with a distinctive tail fin that came to Japan from China. It is one of the first goldfish we imagine when we think of goldfish in Japan. In this article, we would like to explain in detail the characteristics of Ryukin and how to keep them. What is RyukinThe Ryukin originated in China as a variant of the Japanese goldfish [...]
Origin of Dekomegane
The akadekomegane was born in China as a mutation of the Ryukin, although its age is unknown. Therefore, its body features are similar to Ryukin's. It is said to have come to Japan from China around the middle of the Meiji period (1868-1912). It is said to have come to Japan from China around the middle of the Meiji period (1868-1912), but it is also said that it was introduced from China during the Edo period (1603-1868).In ancient China, goldfish were sometimes presented as gifts to emperors and other dignitaries. Rare goldfish were created to catch the emperor's eye. One of them is the dekomegane. Other varieties produced during that period included the apex-eyed and blister-eyed goldfish.
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 [...]

Red was the first color to be produced in the dekomegane.Since the dekomekin is a goldfish produced by mutation from the Ryukin, it inherited the color of the Ryukin and was initially a red dekomekin.

Black is the most well-known color among the dekomegane.Most dekomegins seen in goldfish scoopers and stores are black dekomegins. Therefore, many people think that dekomegins are black goldfish.

Sanshoku (calico) is one of the least visible colors of dekomekin.Unlike black and red, tri-colored dimegane is a mosaic of transparent scales mixed with normal and transparent scales, so that colors such as red, blue, yellow, purple, and black create complex patterns. Sanshoku dimegane is the result of a mutation of red dimegane. From the Tricolor dekomekin, the Tanishiki, Shubunkin, Calico Ryukin, and other goldfish of the Tricolor (Calico) lineage have been produced. Therefore, the importance of what the Sanshoku Demekkin has achieved in the history of goldfish breeding is very high.

How to enjoy Dekomegane
The best way to enjoy the dekomegane is to look at its distinctive eyes, which protrude to the left and right. For this reason, it is recommended to view it from above in a pot or other container (top view) rather than from the side (side view) in an aquarium.By viewing it from the top, you can see whether the left and right eyes are equally protruding and enjoy the size of the eyes in relation to the body as a whole. When viewed from the side, you can appreciate the unique cuteness of the dekomegane and the size of its eyes.
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 that are most compatible with the Demekin are Ryukin-type goldfish such as the 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.

Incompatible goldfish
Goldfish that are incompatible with the dekomegane are Japanese goldfish of the wagane type, such as the wakin and comet.Many Japanese goldfish are agile and grow large in a short period of time. If they are mixed with Japanese goldfish, please be aware that the dekomegane may be eaten by other Japanese goldfish, and the difference in body size may cause them to move apart.

What to keep in mind when keeping a dekomegane
The most important thing to keep in mind when keeping a dekomekin is how to protect its distinctive protruding eyes. The protruding eyes are so delicate that they can be damaged if they rub against the corners of decorations in the aquarium. The most common cause of accidents is when the eyes get caught in the netting during a water change, or in the worst case, when the eyes are removed from the aquarium.Therefore, please be careful when handling dekome-kin. As mentioned in the above section, it is best to keep dekome-kin by mixing them with Ryukin-type goldfish,For goldfish with distinct visual characteristics, such as Domekane, Tingtengan, and Suibokugan, it is recommended to keep one type or three types (Domekane, Tingtengan, and Suibokugan).As mentioned at the beginning of the above section, there is no prohibition against this or that variety of goldfish, but some goldfish may be easily pestered by some individuals. The three types of goldfish (Dameshikin, Tatemekin, and Suibangen) are especially distinctive in appearance, so there is a risk that they will be poked around with. For example, in the case of the dekomegane, other goldfish may poke at the eyes because they are amused by the protruding eyes, which can damage the eyes, or worse, blind them. We recommend keeping them separate to prevent this from happening. However, not 100 people can keep Damegins in a separate tank, so if you keep them mixed with other varieties of goldfish, please check frequently to make sure that they are not being messed with.
Goldfish derived from dekomegane
The body shape is the same as that of the dekomegane, but there is a goldfish called the butterfly-tailed dekomegane that has a tail fin (butterfly tail) that looks like a swallowtail butterfly with its wings spread.More information on the characteristics of the butterfly-tailed demersal and how to keep them is provided in the detailed pages below.
The butterfly tail is different from that of the normal dekomegane in that it has a tail fin that looks like a swallowtail butterfly with its wings spread. The beauty of the butterfly tail is different from that of other tail fins. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the butterfly tail dekomekin and how to keep it [...].
