long time no update, Romi, you confined to your home

true, buddy. i am, more or less confined in my home, mother's illness takes a lot of my time now. But yesterday i found myself close to Anand Parbat, and though not in a position any more to buy more fish (or give much time to my old hobby), i took a peek to see what was available

I was astonished to see some good quality fish, this time Pearlscale Goldfish, which are hard to see of top class, anywhere. In about 4-5 years i have not seen this perfect conformation in the golf-ball pearlscale variety of Goldfish with international standards that i saw here today. When I saw it suddenly in Royal Aquarium, i stood for about 15 mins staring

Took a mobile pic or two too, which i am uploading here, for anyone who has the skills to keep this variety of goldfish alive for a long time (you need to feed good quality but less food than for other fish, and make regular water changes or the fish will die, being truly globular, they have more demands)...

[Romi]

they are available for just around 80 bucks each, maybe he gave me a good price since i have been a customer for years and years. For quality, i would not hesitate to pay 250 each fish, the usual pearlscales are so badly bred, they do not have good globurality or flawless fins (in this variety they should be small fins, deep bodies, and pointed noses)..

This is a poor photo taken with a 5 mp mobile, upper fish looking best in the two, but not just these two but all the fish have the impeccable flawless shape, rounded short fins, and good appetite (i made him feed them to see their response), that shows their quality.
