The wakin is an intermediate twin tailed goldfish variety that has been originated from China. It is thought to believe the wakin has gave rise to fancy twin-tailed goldfish, including the ryukin, ranchu, oranda. It is also the second variety, developed from the common goldfish.
In Japan
The wakin has many popular cultures and beliefs in the history of Japanese goldfish. The wakin goldfish, in Japanese terms, are any 'Huna' bodied goldfish with a single tail(in reference to the popular common goldfish), double tail, or tripple tail, while in US, a wakin is simply a double tail goldfish with a long body. Wakins are also popularly seen in red and white, that are prized for competition. Other colors of wakins have made from it, such as chocolate, blue, red, white, orange, and yellow. There is also a calico wakin, but for some reason, the regards to its color process, the calico wakin is not a full-blooded wakin line.[1]
Breeding
Despite of the fish's double tail, the breeding difficulty is easy as long as you follow the steps of caring young fish.
Other types
The watonai goldfish is a cross between the wakin and the ryukin.
