Pearlscale Goldfish
$29.00
The Pearlscale Goldfish is a distinctive fancy goldfish prized for its rounded body, domed belly and raised, pearl-like scales that give it a unique textured appearance. Peaceful and generally easy to care for, it makes a beautiful centrepiece for a spacious coldwater aquarium.
Care at a Glance:
- Minimum Tank Size: Large tank with plenty of swimming space; larger setups are recommended for adult fish

- pH Range: 6.5–8.0
- Temperament: Peaceful, slow-moving
- Diet: Omnivore — quality goldfish pellets, flakes, gel food and occasional vegetables or frozen foods

Tank Mates: Other fancy goldfish such as Orandas, Ranchus and Fantails. Avoid fast-moving or fin-nipping fish, as Pearlscales can struggle to compete for food.
