The Eggfish is naturally named for it’s egg shaped body. It is relatively deep and more or less evenly curved along the upper and lower edges. Both long and short-finned varieties are available. However, it is the long finned variety that is known as the Phoenix. It has no dorsal fin and it’s pectoral and pelvic fins are elongated as in the case of it’s caudal fins. The tail should be long and flowing and droop slightly.
Coloration is varied but highly prized specimens are usually white with some red or orange mix.
This breed is seldom seen in the West but is highly popular in the Far East. Of late, this breed seems to have become increasingly coveted due to it’s surreal, graceful appearance.
