Tamasaba
Fancy goldfish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tamasaba (玉サバ) or Sabao is an uncommon Japanese variety of goldfish with a body shape similar to a Ryukin or a Fantail, but with a long, flowing, single tail that is similar to that of a mackerel, hence its other name, Mackerel Tail. This attractive and strong goldfish variety makes a very suitable pond fish and aquarium fish. Usually white and red tamasaba is rarely seen with other colors. It withstands the cold very well.
