Technically, it is called "Ribbontail Goldfish". That is by some club standard based in USA.
But if you click the Ryukin link at the UK Bristol Aquarists website given above, they mentioned that: "There is a long-tailed version of this fish known as fringetail/ribbontail ryukin." I assume that this statement means that BY THEIR STANDARD, ryukin can have ribbontail too. But to some clubs based in USA, Ribbontail Goldfish and Ryukin are 2 different categories. And for them, the standard for ryukins is only fringetail. All these standards are set by clubs. I interprete it as attempts by these different clubs to define goldfish standards. So I do not think we should be so concerned with such things. There are other aspects we need to look into for the ryukins class like hump, body shape, etc so if there is a need to break up the ryukin class, simply long tailed and short tailed will do. |
