Ryukin are one of my favorite varieties. Look for a high back (hump). The body should be almost round from the side view with a triangular head. Given enough room, they will grow to about nine inches tip-to-tip.
We have been raising metallic red and white ryukin for a while but just recently began to breed the short-tail variety, both metallic, calico and chocolate. Short-tail ryukin are popular in Asia and are more expensive there, but are seldom seen in the US. The differences go deeper than just the size of the tail. Short-tail ryukin do not swim as gracefully and tend to waddle. They are less prone to be aggressive than their long-tail cousins and do not usually grow as large. The traditional ryukin has an air of grace and strength. By contrast, the short-tails have a comical quality about them.
