Orange Pearl-scale with Phoenix Tail


It was early in 1925 that Pearl-scale already appeared. It looks like a shuttle with pointed two ends and short tailfin. In 1950s a new variety of Pearl-scale called "Phoenix Tail" was cultivated. It has a big and long tailfin and shorter body. The abdomen is a little bit rounder than common Pearl-scales, so the bulge of white scales is quite obvious. Therefore, it is more popular than short-tailed ones, and those whose whole body (including the tailfin) is red are most rare.
