Additional Comments

The Butterflytail is one of a number of fancy goldfish varieties best viewed from above rather than side-on: it's beautiful symmetrical tail can then be fully appreciated. Suitable for indoor tanks or bowls, and also outdoors (but provide protection from predators such as birds and cats!)
