| Hi bros, my wakin with a jikin tail has torn fins and blood streaks, but it is eating and healthy. Do u think that it is safe for me to put it out of quarantine? Thanks! |

Don't look good. Try to isolate and observe it for a while. Try melafix.

Fishyboy, the batch of fish is very weak. i find similar problem to my wakin too. But i keep it in top notch water condition, and hopefully it can regain its health slowly.
Try not to disturb it, reduce its stress would really help.

Side track issue: how old are you? |
In Japan, jikin is a variety of goldfish that is completely break away from wakin gene. A brand new mutated gene.
Aside from colour pattern and tail shape, the major different in the body shape is that the jikin has less back curve compared to wakin. Very short peduncle.
Me, still young, 38 only! 
Why you ask??........i must have sound old while talking to Fishyboy?
Well, i missed my late-father. i just hope he understand how lucky to have his parent beside him sharing his hobby.

Just an observation, a jikin's tail is actually a wakin's tail with a full split that is somehow 'pressed down'. Pls do correct me if im wrong.
P.S. Hi bro wolverine, how r ur jikin doing? |

I think there is more to the difference between jikin and wakin tail. I notice that the angle (seen from side view) is very different.

Pls do elaborate on the other difference of the wakin's tail from that of a jikin. Thanks! |

Wakin seems to have inherent shorter lower caudal.
