Other variants

The Butterfly Tail (Man Shek-hay, 1993) or the Telescope Butterfly (Teichfischer, 1994) is a variant distinguished by its butterfly-like caudal fin seen from above. This is a recent breed that is considered the main lineage by a number of published works. Since this tail shape is common in telescopic goldfish, the term “buttertail” is just an acronym for many of the names this species goes by, such as the Butterflytail Telescope, Butterflytail Demekin , Moor, and the Top-Down Telescope (TVT). ). The butterflytail is a variant of the bulging-eyed goldfish and is most appreciated when viewed from above.

Although this tail variation is commonly associated with the telescope eye variant, “butterfly tail” can occur in other standard goldfish breeds such as ryukins or orandas. The tail spreads best at 180 degrees, but some can spread at an angle due to the weight of the long caudal fin. With the increasing popularity of moth-tailed moths, efforts have been made to distinguish different types of butterfly-tailed butterflies such as fairy-tailed butterflies, shuan shu (Chinese comb-tail) butterflies, delta butterflies, and trapezoid-tailed butterflies.
