History states that the ryukin goldfish originated in the 1770’s in the Ryukin island chain off of Japan. It’s a really pretty goldfish and has a pretty great personality, for a fish. I had had these images in my mind for a while so when my guppy Milli (Vanilli died a month ago) died during a freak tank cleaning accident, I decided it was time to pull the trigger. I found this guy at a local pet store and photographed him (or her) just before I moved him to his new tank. I may pull him again and shoot some more images but for now I’m pretty pleased. I’m also going to use some of the shots in a digital piece that I’m making as well. Stay tuned. Please contact me via my contact page if you’re interested in a print!
