RED TAIL GOLDEN (RTG)
Also known as Indonesian Golden or Sumatran Golden. Some part of the dorsal and tail fin is not red but rather dark in colour. Some good breed can even develop 5th level shine on the scales known as “highback” but unfortunately mostly up to 4th level only.
Recent market supply seems a lot of “highback” RTGs in Singapore would benefits both hobbyists and breeders. Juveniles are not clearly defined in inner core and outer rims. However, now seems high quality RTGs will dominate its market share in the next decades or so.
