The Pearlscale is a common breed both in the West and the Far East. The common variant is characterized by an almost spherical body shape. The head is similar to a common goldfish but rather broader when viewed from the top. The name is derived from the unique appearance of the scales whereby calcified deposits develop on the outer surface of the scale, forming a hard ‘pearly’ crust. The finnage is relatively short and similar to a fantail. Coloration is varied but most frequently in orange, red and white. Calico variants are also common.
Of late, exotic variant of the pearlscale have appeared in the Far East. Among these are Pearlscale Ranchus, Pearlscale Red Caps/Berets, etc. It seems that the Pearlscale characteristic can be successfully bred into other varieties of goldfish as well.
