These fish are typical of imports from the far east, with good hoods, shallower bodies, shorter and rounded paired fins and a deeply forked tail.

A number of self-coloured fish ('blues', browns, blacks, yellows, and such like) are imported to UK, this being a reflection of the enormous variety of orandas bred in China. The chocolate remains one of the early favourites.
These fish were shown at BAS 2002. They are typical Far Eastern fish: note the lack of depth in the body, the well forked tail and the shorter fins.
