Description
The Tetsugyo is a unique Japanese goldfish variety, originating from Miyazaki Prefecture. It is believed to be a natural hybrid between a goldfish and a crucian carp, known for its robust nature and metallic bronze coloration. This coldwater fish requires a spacious aquarium and good filtration due to its size and waste production.
