Kirakira
Kirakira is an original goldfish variety developed by Kimura Fish Farm in Saitama Prefecture, the same breeder behind Tamaogon and Zebra Aurora. Its parentage has not been disclosed, and no breed standard, including body shape, tail type, or coloring, has been published.

It is a good choice for anyone who wants to bring home a rare goldfish.

7 things to know before welcoming a Kirakira
1Undisclosed Parentage
The breeder, Kimura Fish Farm, has not disclosed Kirakira's parentage. It comes from the same breeder as Tamaogon and Zebra Aurora, but no breed standard has been published, and its body shape, tail type, and coloring are not publicly documented.
2Check the Actual Fish First
Because Kirakira's body shape, tail type, and coloring have not been published, you can't judge its appearance from general information. When acquiring one, confirm its body shape with the breeder or seller and set up the tank to suit the actual fish.
3Best for Intermediate Keepers
Kirakira is generally recommended for intermediate keepers rather than first-time goldfish owners. If you're new to goldfish, it may be worth building experience with a hardier variety first before bringing one home.
4Water Quality and Temperature
Goldfish are sensitive to sudden shifts in water quality and temperature. Keep the filtration system well maintained, change water regularly, and take extra care to smooth out temperature swings during seasonal transitions.
5Choosing Tankmates
Since Kirakira's body shape and tail type have not been published, choose tankmates by watching how fast the fish actually swims. It's best to avoid pairings with large differences in movement, which can lead to competition over food.
6Signs to Watch For
A drop in appetite, sluggish movement, or changes on the skin can all be early signs that something is off. Watch your fish closely each day so you can respond quickly if anything seems different from usual.
7Preparing Before You Bring One Home
Setting up a tank and establishing the filtration cycle takes time, so it's best to start preparing well before bringing a Kirakira home. Having the environment ready in advance reduces stress on the fish during its transition.
