Calico Pearlscale ML

Bring a charming and whimsical touch to your aquarium with the Calico Pearlscale ML. This unique goldfish is a true showstopper, known for its distinct, round, egg-shaped body and beautiful, raised scales that give it a "beaded" or "pearly" appearance. This medium-large specimen features a striking, mottled calico pattern of red, orange, white, black, and blue, making each fish a one-of-a-kind living piece of art.

The Calico Pearlscale is a peaceful and social fish that thrives in a community setting. Due to its unique body shape and slower swimming speed, it should be kept with other similarly-sized and docile goldfish to ensure it gets enough food. Its tranquil and inquisitive nature makes it a delightful addition to any aquatic environment.

Diet

For their diet, Calico Pearlscales are omnivores. Given their unique body shape, it's crucial to feed them a diet that is easy to consume and won't cause digestive issues. It's best to feed them a high-quality sinking pellet designed for goldfish, as this prevents them from gulping air at the surface which can lead to swim bladder problems. To ensure they get all the necessary nutrients, supplement their diet with a mix of fresh vegetables like blanched spinach or peas, as well as meaty foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp. A balanced diet will help them maintain their unique coloration and overall health.
