Minimum length of body to be 5.5 cm (2¼ inches).Eyes to project outwards and well forward from surface of head.Dorsal fin to be single, all other fins to be paired and their extremities having a pointed appearance.The minimum length of caudal fin should ideally be 75% of body length. Caudal fin to be divided, well spread and held below the horizontal with the trailing edge forked 25% to 35% and pointed lobes.Depth of body to be approximately 65% of body length.Globe eyes are called dragon eyes in the Far East, and first appeared around 1592. The UK standard calls for eyes that are truncated cones, whereas in the Far East and America the eyes are spherical, as in the moor and the butterfly. The other colour group seen is calico fish, as illustrated below. The UK colour standard for metallic fish is self-coloured black, although self-coloured metallic and calico fish are popular in other parts of the world and are increasingly seen in UK. It is now the only long-finned twintail for which the standard calls for a forked tail, as the oranda standard now calls for an unforked tail (as in the veiltail). This condition is usually a result of organ failure due to cancer or extremely poor environmental conditions.The globe eye is comparatively rare in UK.

The body looks like a pinecone because of the bloat and the scales appearing somewhat separated from the fish's belly and sides.While treatments are available, a full recovery is virtually impossible. This is also known as "pineconing" and gets its name from viewing the fish from the top. If the fish's belly appears bloated and the fins are sticking out from his body, this means they have dropsy. If your fish appears to have trouble swimming, such as moving with the body plane on an angle, floating almost upside down, or with their heads pointing down, your fish has swim bladder disease.ĭropsy is one of the rarer goldfish diseases.A swollen belly accompanied by lethargy can also be a sign of constipation, particularly if the fish has not defecated in several days.Swollen eyes accompanied by a bloated body are a sign of dropsy.If the fish's color seems pale and washed out all over, this is a symptom of dropsy.Signs of dropsy include bloated eyes, a swollen body, and protruding scales.As long as the fish is treated before the infection reaches its body, the tail fin will grow back. If the fin takes on a whitish margin, a bacterial infection has taken hold and if left untreated, it will eventually enter the body of the fish. On the other hand, if the tail is rotting away evenly, then it is the sign of a fungal infection. If the tail fin is very ragged looking, the fin rot is normally the result of a bacterial infection. It can also be the result of either a primary or secondary infection.
