Text Appearing Before Image:
THE GOLDFISH 183 used to breed to Telescopes to produce Telescopic young. This is usually successful in the first generation, but it has a tendency to spoil the breed by gradually reducing the size of the eyes. Telescope fishes of the present time are, for the most part, considerably inferior in point of eyes com- pared with the stock of the first years of the present century, due mainly to breeding too exclusively for short bodies and long fins. Artificial type characteristics in any kind of breeding can, like liberty, only be maintained at the price of eternal vigilance. THE CHINESE SCALELESS TELESCOPE GOLDFISH As before stated, "scaleless" is somewhat of a misnomer, the fish being transparently scaled, making the scales difficult to detect. We use the word "scaleless" in its accepted popular sense.
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 156. Chinese Scaleless Telescope (Dorsal view) Fish of this general division are divided into two color classes- Plain Scaleless and Calico. The Plain Scaleless is red, white or a com- bination of the two. Red in scaleless fish is quite different from that in scaled varieties, being more of an oxblood color, producing a highly refined appearance. In scaleless fish the bodies do not have a metallic lustre. The colors seem as though they had been laid on by the delicate hand of a water-color artist. These fish have white fins, sometimes dotted with black, and rarely mixed with red. During the first few months the roots of the tails are usually dark, but this gradually disap- pears.
