Panda Butterfly Goldfish
Once in a blue moon, a natural Grade A black and white Panda Butterfly Goldfish is born. Grade A Panda Butterfly Goldfish command a very high price, ten times more than Grade B fish, and have dramatic solid white and black color and no red.
Unfortunately, nearly all Grade A Panda Butterfly Goldfish are sold to the Asian market and are not available to the USA market. What we get is pictured below: a silvery black and off-white butterfly with a small amount of orange.
Butterfly goldfish have very wide caudal (tail) fins, like the wings of a butterfly.

The fish is beautiful with a soft silvery black and off-white body. It swims gracefully and the tail fins look like butterfly wings. It’s a great addition to my community tank and very active.
Richard Vaughan –
I was expecting something more like the Grade A fish, but this one is still very attractive. The coloration is not as vivid, but it’s a nice, peaceful fish that fits well in my setup.

The fish has been thriving in my 10-gallon tank for two months. It’s calm, easy to care for, and adds a lot of visual interest to the aquarium.
