Let's talk about Goldfish

Hi there.  My name is Tammy.  I am involved in a project to create a Canadian variety of Goldfish.  This will be a "fancy" fish - white body with red fins, and a red tail shaped like a maple leaf.  This project will be a few years in the making, but we are optimistic.

Present Stage of "Canakin Project":

Featured Tip:

I have purchased 3 fish so far, which will be the foundation stock for the Canakin.  "Angel" is a red/white fantail female.  She is young, but I know she's female because she was laying eggs in October!  She is mostly white with a red "mask".  Samantha, I am only presuming is a female.  She has good, bright red coloring on her mostly white body.  She is a Ryukin.  Neither of these fish have the proper markings, but Angel also has a nice, long tailfin, but Sam does not. My third fish is Maple, sex unknown, but I suspect male at this point.  Maple is white and red - but not a true red, more of an orange.  Maple possesses the fault of a 3-point tail, which is frowned upon for Ryukins, but is perfect for the Canakin.  He also has fairly close markings, with a stripe down his back and red on all of his fins.

Feed frozen, but thawed peas to your fish for a treat.  It also helps reduce constipation.  Remove the shells first, and break up for smaller fish.
