BUTTERFLY TAIL(GoldFish)

The Butterfly tail (Man Shek-hay, 1993) or butterfly telescope (Teichfischer, 1994)is a variety of goldfish that is distinguished by the 'butterfly' shaped tail fins when viewed from above. It is a variety that only until recent has been deemed a major lineage by a few published works. Because this tail conformation is commonly bred into the telescope eye goldfish, the term "butterfly tail" is just short for the many names this variety has such as: butterfly tail telescope eye goldfish, butterfly tail demekin, or butterfly tail moor.
