Brocaded Goldfish

Known as Kinranshi in Japan, this fish is thought to be a hybrid of a Lion head and a Ryun kin. The body resembles that of the Wakin while the finnage, especially the lack of a dorsal fin, reminds one of a Lion head. Its mottling is a rich gold color mixed with black, red and white, just like gold brocade, from whence it gets its name. It was first bred in 1905 in Japan by Akiyama Kichigoro.
