FANTASTIC GOLDFISH.
Some Curious Shapes Produced by the
Exports of Japan.
Japanese fish breeders took advan
tage of one of nature’s pranks to obtain
this much decorated goldfish. Years
ago a Jap found in his aquarium a fish
with two tails. He was so well pleased
with the novelty that he undertook to
make it the basis of a new type. Thus
the one accident by nature became the
grandfather of a race of two tailed fish.
We call them Japanese fantails.
Not satisfied with the double tall, the
breeders next set about molding the
bodies of their fish Into round balls.
Breeders first picked out the fish with
the shortest bodies and bred them ev
ery year by painstaking selection. Fish
with shorter and shorter bodies were
produced until today the accepted type
of Japanese fantail bas a body as
round as a ball.
Not all fantails are alike. One with
the ends of the tall cut off flat is called
the square tall. Another with a slight
Inward curve to the edges of the tall is
called veil tall. A third, with a deep
eut out tall, is named the ribbon tail.
All these varieties have long tails and
tins. You will recognise them instant
ly when you see them in an aquarium
floating about like bits of lace in the
water.—Philadelphia North American.
