Steve, did you get an answer to this? Kenco use to carry them
www.kencofish.com We have a local person (Ritzville, WA) that raises them,
but I don't know if she ships. I can find out, if you don't find them
somewhere closer. ~ jan

I know that it is a strong fast goldfish with a double tail which is a
good pond fish and and the most common goldfish pondfish in Japan and
China. It has a magnificent tail with a wider than normal goldfish
body and it can easily hold its own with the comets and the standard
goldfish at feeding time. For the most part we can't get em in the
states and I was wondering if they hype this fish too much? and its
friendliness. Is it really as good as the websites say it is or is it
just another goldfish?? just asking and does anyone know where I can
get it in the SF bayarea because I have not found it even after
looking and making calls to a half a dozen shops. thanks.
