24.(Goldfish)Red Lion-head with Single Narial Bouquet(Pompom)

Red Lion-head with Single Narial Bouquet(Pompom)

This goldfish is an artificially cultivated variety. Common Egg-fish with Narial Bouquets have two
bouquets of the same size, while some only have one developed bouquet, which is big and stout. This single big ball hangs in front of the mouth and waves around when swimming as a lion is playing a silky ball, which is very interesting and lovely. If one bouquet is refrained from growing by manual pruning, the other will develop faster.

17.(Goldfish)Red Bubble-eye

This goldfish is a mutant of Red Egg-fish and extremely rare and precious among goldfish. It is in a similar shape as common Egg-fish with the only difference of two half-transparent bulbs full of liquid under eyeballs and protruding out of eye sockets, hence the name. Such bulbs can either be small hard ones or developed and big ones extruding eyeballs half skyward. The bulb membrane is very thin with clear line-shaped capillary tubes. When it swims, these two bulbs will wave around like two big lanterns, which look very charming. So far the varieties having appeared include Red and White Bubble-eye, White Bubble-eye, Blue Bubble-eye, and Transparent Bubble-eye, etc., and those appearing in recent years enjoy much richer colors and hence are more loved.

My story is telling you: Goldfish Queen serve you better than others !

I would like to share my business story with you. To let every goldfish suppliers in China knows that the customer's service is the most important thing in business! To let my current customers and future customers know that Goldfish Queen provide you the best service!
Last Friday, I had a shipment from Shanghai to Toronto, than be trasfered to US.
 
I thought I could take a short break and continued to post my pics onto my blog after shipping. But you'd  never known......I found the shipment haven't checked in Toronto and it supposed to arrive Toronto 3 hours ago and should be transfered to US soon! However.... I couldn't find any information on the website of the Air Canada Cargo and it used to enable to be tracked online.
 
OMG! What am I going to do? I got blank in my mind. Suddently I got an idea lighted up, Call Toronto!  I picked the phone up and asked for help. They told me Toronto was hit by a big storm last night and now was screwed up! Thank these very nice guys! They finally found my fish and was preparing to get them on board! 
 
I called  my customer right way let him know what was going on there. I couldn't sleep that night until my customer gave me an email said he received the shipment and dead on arrival was very low!
 
Thank God!
 

16.(Goldfish)Red and White Lion-head

Red and White Lion-head This goldfish's shape is like Red Lion-head with plump sacs and red and white body color. The embedding of the two colors, however, has much to research on: some are mainly white dotted with red patches, and both the sac and lip are red as well; while some have white sacs and left-right symmetrical red and white patches with similar figures, which is extremely wonderful and beautiful and hence greatly enhances the price.

FAQ - 1.What is the definition of the goldfish or what are the goldfish?

December 08

Goldfish is a freshwater fish native to eastern Asia, characteristically having brassy or reddish coloring and bred in many ornamental forms as an aquarium fish. It's below Cyprinidae family and this species is called Carassius auratus.

Not only the goldfish is one of the earliest fish to be domesticated, but also they are the one of the most commonly-kept aquarium fish today. A small plain carp which lived in the ponds of the south and central China was the ancestor of the goldfish. First, the carp was kept, fed and bred in the ponds in as earlier as A.D.960 by the record in the Chinese ancient book called "Mountain and Sea Scripture".

After long term breeding and selection, the occasionally colorful and different varieties of the carp appeared. That¡¯s called "evolution" as my understanding. Those different and colorful varieties of carp were never stopped to be put into the circle of breeding and selection again and again by human being until they are become today's goldfish.

Nowadays, millions of goldfish are bred all over the world. Like Goldfish Queen Farm, we keep selecting and breeding more than 60 varieties goldfish every year. It makes us to develop more and more quality high class goldfish so that we can supply 7 million goldfish, size from 2.5 inch to 8 inch, to local and worldwide pets' shops.
