Description

Introduction: Welcome to the enchanting world of Red and White Ryukin, a captivating fish variety known for its striking colors and graceful appearance. Embark on a journey to discover the beauty and elegance of these mesmerizing creatures as they add a touch of vibrancy and charm to your aquatic sanctuary.

Scientific Name: The Red and White Ryukin belongs to the Carassius auratus species.

Water Quality:

  • Temperature: Maintain a cool and temperate environment with temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).
  • pH Level: Keep the water slightly acidic to neutral, with a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, to support their well-being.
  • GH Level: Aim for a General Hardness (GH) of 8 to 12 dGH for their optimal health.
  • KH Level: Ensure a Carbonate Hardness (KH) level of 4 to 8 dKH to maintain water stability.

Feeding: Red and White Ryukin are omnivorous and have a hearty appetite. Offer them a varied diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms.

Tank Mates:

  • Peaceful Community Fish: Red and White Ryukin are generally peaceful and can coexist harmoniously with other non-aggressive community fish like tetras, guppies, and danios.
  • Avoid Nippy Fish: Refrain from housing them with fin-nipping or aggressive species to prevent stress and injury.

Substrates and Tank Decorations: Provide a soft substrate like sand to prevent injuries to their delicate barbels and to allow them to sift through the substrate comfortably. Decorate the tank with smooth rocks, driftwood, and artificial or live plants to offer hiding spots and create a visually pleasing environment.

Suitable Plants: Choose hardy and non-eating plants like Java Ferns and Anubias to enhance the visual appeal while considering Red and White Ryukin’s herbivorous tendencies.

Sexing: Sexing adult Red and White Ryukin can be challenging and may require observation of their behavior and subtle physical differences.

Breeding: Breeding Red and White Ryukin in a home aquarium can be attempted, but it may require specific conditions and careful management.

Maximum Size and Longevity: Red and White Ryukin can grow up to a size of about 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm). With proper care, they can live up to 10 to 15 years, providing you with years of fascination.

General Information: Red and White Ryukin are a prized variety of goldfish, admired for their vibrant colors and distinctively humpbacked shape.
