Lionhead Goldfish: Its one among my favourite aquarium pet.Its one of the most frequently kept goldfish variants. The Lionhead Goldfish can be recognized by its well developed headgrowth (wen).The body of a Lionhead Goldfish is egg shaped and rather streamlined, and there is no dorsal fin. There should be quite a lot of fat around the belly and the body depth is ideally larger than ½ to 5/8 of the body length. You can find several varieties of the Lionhead Goldfish. When it comes to colouration, you can choose between red, orange, chocolate, blue and black if you want a metallic coloured Lionhead Goldfish.The nacreous types are bi-coloured with red/white or red/black combinations, or tri-coloured in red/white/black or calico.A completely white Lionhead Goldfish is very hard to find, since white is the traditional colour of death and mourning in China. All the white goldfishes have therefore been culled out and never allowed to take part in breeding process. The Lionhead Goldfish do not only come in different colour variations; they can have somewhat different bodies as well. One of the more rare types is the long-finned Lionhead Goldfish, a very graceful fish that unfortunately can very be hard to obtain.
The Lionhead Goldfish is one of the larger goldfish types and requires plenty of space. If you provide your Lionhead Goldfish with enough space and good care, it will reach its full potential and grow into a very impressive goldfish.Fishes like Koi, Comet Goldfish and Shubunkin Goldfish are not the recommended companions for a Lionhead Goldfish.
