The apex eye is a goldfish with a dorsal finless feature found in the Ranchu lineage and eyes that protrude like those of the Demekkin, but the apex eye has black eyes that point upward (at the apex). In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the Apex Eye and how to keep it.
What is apex eye?
The Apex Eye is a goldfish that has a dorsal finless feature found in the Ranchu lineage and has protruding eyes like the Demekkin, but while the Demekkin has black eyes looking sideways, the Apex Eye looks upward (to the apex).Among freshwater and saltwater fish, it is very rare to see a fish with its eyes looking upward, and its special and strange appearance has made it one of the rarest fish species in the world.
The Ranchu is a goldfish with a well-developed fleshy head like the Dutch lionhead, but unlike other goldfish, it is unique in that it has no dorsal fin. In this article, we would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the Ranchu and how to keep it. What is Ranchu?
As its name suggests, the deme-kin is a goldfish with its left and right eyes popping out. It is one of the most well-known goldfish, but 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 deme goldfish and how to keep it [...].
Origin of the Apex Eye
The Ting Tian Yuan is often thought to be a variety derived from the Ranchu and Domegane because of its visual characteristics, but in fact it is a variety that was created by fixing a mutation of the Red Domegane. In China and other countries, we can see not only red but also tricolor (calico) and black Tingtien-Yan, which were also created by mutation of tricolor and black Domekin, respectively.In other words, the apex eye is a dekomegane without a dorsal fin with its eyes facing upward. There is an anecdote that the apex eye existed in the Qing Dynasty, and that after many generations of breeding in jars with progressively narrower upper mouths, the black eye that was originally attached to the side of the eye gradually moved upward to catch even a little light, and moved above the eye as we see it today, but there are many uncertainties. However, there are many uncertain parts and it cannot be said with certainty. Therefore, compared to other goldfish, the Tingtien eye is one of the most mysterious goldfish, including how it was born. The Ting Tian Yuan was originally favored by the upper class of the court, and has long been treated as an out-of-bounds 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 [...]
How to enjoy Tingtian Eye
The best way to enjoy the apex eye is with its characteristic upward-pointing eyes. For this reason, we recommend viewing it from above in a bowl or other container (top view) rather than from the side (side view) in an aquarium or other container.By viewing them with an up-eye view, you can feel as if you have been eye-to-eye with the apex eye. In addition, you can enjoy the expression and characteristics of each individual Tingtien eye by viewing it with an upward glance. For example, you can enjoy various individuals with leaning eyes, black eyes facing forward or, conversely, slightly backward. If possible, it is recommended to view the fish from the side as well, as it is possible to see the part of the fish without the dorsal fin, which shows a different expression from the top view.
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 Tingtian Eye are Ranchu-type goldfish, such as Ranchu and Edonishiki.The Tingtian eye variety is a goldfish that is very prone to eye problems, partly because of its protruding eyes. Therefore, we recommend a Ranchu-type goldfish, which is not a good swimmer, because it is less likely to eat food first or be chased by other goldfish, which can cause stress.

Incompatible goldfish
Goldfish that do not go well with the Tingtian Eye are Japanese goldfish, such as Wakin (Japanese goldfish) and Comet (Japanese goldfish).Many Japanese goldfish are agile and grow large in a short period of time. When mixing goldfish with Japanese goldfish, we recommend that you pay close attention to whether or not the goldfish are chasing the apical eye or poking you in the eye.

Points to keep in mind when keeping a Ting-Ting Eyes
The Tingiten-eyes can be kept in the same way as the Domekkin, but we recommend that you keep them with care because their eyes, which point upward and differ greatly from those of the Domekkin, may let their black eyes out of the water and into the air when they come to the surface to eat food. In addition, the most important thing to keep in mind when keeping demeruccins and tooten-eyes is the ornaments and driftwood that enhance the appearance of the aquarium. If the ornament or driftwood has sharp edges, remove it from the aquarium immediately. If there is a sharp part, it may hit (catch) the eye of the apex eye, etc., and if it hits the eye, it may injure the eye, or at worst, it may blind the eye.The Tingtian Eye has not been popular among Japanese people for a long time because of its impactful appearance, but in recent years, more and more people have been attracted to its distinctive personality due to the inequality of social networking sites, and demand for the breed is gradually increasing. However, since there are few opportunities to actually see them, we recommend that those who are interested in Ting Tian Gan to ask a specialty store if they have any in stock.
