Variety characteristics: The head of jade mackerel is flat and slightly narrow, the body is short, the abdomen is rounded, and the back is slightly bulged. Its fins are long and its tail is large, and its colors are rich and diverse, including red, white, red and white, etc., which are eye-catching. Jade Mackerel not only inherits the physical characteristics of Ryukin, but also has a single-leaf long and soft tail fin, which looks like a Ryukin with a single tail fin, elegant yet agile. In fisheries, jade mackerel is usually raised in earthen ponds and large ponds, sometimes mixed with koi. This kind of feeding environment makes the mackerel very strong and adaptable. They can grow to considerable sizes, with large individuals reaching around 40 centimeters. Origin of the variety: Tamaki is bred through the cross-breeding of red and white goldfish and Yamagata goldfish (the long-tailed goldfish unique to Yamagata Prefecture). It perfectly inherited Ryukin's physical characteristics, with only the tail fin transformed into a unique single-tail form. This type of goldfish is highly regarded because of its strong vitality and adaptability, so it is extremely popular in Japan. This phenomenon may seem a bit unusual in China, but it also fully demonstrates the unique charm and differences of goldfish culture in different regions. Variety Characteristics: The color of jade mackerel tail is mainly concentrated between red and white, with few other tones. The way of tasting this color is quite similar to that of red and white koi. Since the advent of jade mackerel, its breeding direction has been focused on making the white color purer and the red color more vivid. Over time, the jade mackerel tail has also evolved into a short-tailed variety, making the overall body shape more compact and unique. In some fishing grounds, the selection of jade mackerel even follows the standards of koi carp. For example, as we saw in the video, each fin is required to be pure white, and the red must not go beyond the mouth and only appear above the body of the fish. Jade mackerel has various body shapes and is mainly divided into two types: long tail and short tail. In terms of scales, it has both hard and soft scales, showing a unique charm. What’s more worth mentioning is that the red color on Jade Mackerel’s body shines through from under its transparent scales, just like a piece of crystal clear jade, hence the name “Jade Mackerel”. This name is both vivid and poetic, and perfectly explains the meaning of Jade Mackerel. Its beauty and uniqueness. Jade Mackerel has a round body comparable to Ryukin, and its tail is as strong, elegant and long as Jade Ruyi, adding a unique charm to it. Despite its rounded body, the Tamaka's tail is supple and tensile, wide and powerful, which makes it extremely agile when swimming in the water, and it does not appear to be a limitation of Ryukin's body shape. In terms of color, jade mackerel mainly has red and white gauze patterns. Among them, the variety with transparent scales is called "jade brocade", which adds to its elegant temperament. In the evaluation of gauze patterns, it is generally believed that individuals with red patterns distributed to the abdomen are more ideal, just like the saying of belly curling in koi appreciation.
