Do Not Mess With Fish 249,

and you thought fish were fun!    

 well these goldfish are,

 although they might not look similar to the ones you in days past could win at the fair,

 they are in fact all goldfish, (Carassius auratus),

 but these have been selectively breed to produce varieties such as Bubble Eye, Celestial, Comet, Fantail, Lion Head, Oranda and Ryukin to name just a few of the 33 types listed,

 these photographs capturing the beauty of the fish were taken by Taiwanese photographer Tsubaki, 

 the photographer is interested in showcasing creatures of such ancient and historic meaning using a modern technique,

 each photograph features a solitary fish, 

 with a black background bringing out the translucent colors and elegant silhouettes of the aquatic animals, 

 You can see more of Tsubaki’s fish studies on Behance and Instagram, what a lovely series of photographs.
