Characteristics and keeping of blue-banded fish

The blue-textured fish are,This goldfish has a bluish-gray body color with bluish tints all over. Its body shape and how to keep it are not much different from those of the ordinary Dutch lionhead.However, its bluish body color, which is unique in the goldfish world, is not inferior to other varieties and has a strong fan base.

The blue-banded fish originally came from theThis goldfish was popular in China under the name of "Aibungyo. When it came to Japan, its name was changed to "Aibungyo" (blue pattern fish), and it has been used ever since. The origin of the name "Aibungyo" comes from the fact that the color of the Aibungyo in China is similar to indigo, and the shape of the fish when viewed from above gave rise to the name "Aibungyo.In China, the blue color recognized in Japan is described as indigo, and blue refers to yellowish green. In Japan, green insects are sometimes described as "caterpillars" and green apples as "green apples. Such a culture came from China. Therefore, the body color of the blue-spotted fish was recognized as indigo in China. After coming to Japan, the name of the blue-spotted fish was changed from "indigo" to "blue. The characteristic body color of the blue medaka is the result of the degeneration of yellow pigment. Other species, such as the blue killifish, have a similar mutation.

The best way to enjoy the blue-banded fish is to appreciate how beautifully the blue-gray color, its most distinctive feature, can be appreciated. For this purpose, we recommend viewing them from the side (side view) in an aquarium rather than from above (top view).By viewing them from the side, you can enjoy the beautiful blue-gray color reflected by LED or other light. In addition, you can enjoy the mass of flesh that develops on the head as it grows, as in the case of the Woran lion's head. If you appreciate the blue-gray coloration in a white basin, you can enjoy the blue-gray coloration that is difficult to appreciate in a side view, as the blue shiny part changes depending on the reflection of light.

The goldfish that work best with blue bony fish are Dutch type goldfish such as Azumanishiki (Azuma Nishiki) and Tanchou (Tanchou).The Dutch type goldfish is characterized by the fleshy mass on the head that develops as it grows and the beautiful tail fin that is as beautiful as the Ryukin type, so we recommend that you compare the growth changes of each variety.

Goldfish that are incompatible with the blue bony fish are Ranchu-type goldfish, such as the Ranchu and Edo Nishiki.Many of the Ranchu-type goldfish are poor swimmers, and if they are mixed with the Orchid Lionhead, the Orchid Lionhead may take the Ranchu-type goldfish's food. If you do mix them with the Ranchu type goldfish, please be careful that the Ranchu type goldfish is able to eat the food.

The blue-banded fish is not much different from the Dutch lionhead in terms of how it is kept and so on,When purchasing from specialty stores, some individuals may have a brown spot-like appearance that goes into the back or other parts of the blue-spotted fish. There is no need to worry about this, as it is just residual yellow pigment.Many people look at it as one of the points to choose Aobunkyo because they have different tastes, so it is recommended to observe this aspect as well. Compared to the Dutch Lion's Head and Azuma Nishiki, there are few opportunities to see Aobunkyo in person, so we recommend that you take a look at the beautiful blue-gray color when you are able to see them.
