Wakin is one's of the biggest in goldfish world .As their behavier very close to Single tail Goldfish character,they r too wild when mixed to the exotic goldfish.

U can train them by no giving food for 2 days.After 2 days,soak the pellet with some water for 5 minutes.U must soak ur finger too.Drop several drops of the soaked pellet at the wakin aquarium.

The wakin will take the smell and search for the food.Add several drops again and if some of the wakins come out of the water. Then put ur finger near the wakin and let them 'kiss' ur finger.Gently rub their skin and if the wakin panic,let them .Try for several times and they even 'kiss' ur lip if u train them well.

About the food ,after u finished the Hikari Gold,do not feed them again as wakin consider one's of the best colour in goldfish world.So feed with Hikari Staple and Hikari Wheat-Germ is recomended.They do not need to feed colour enhancer in the moment.Don't worry about the colour of the fish fade ,it's normal and will deeply enhance by ur environment.

Don't forget to feed them live food such as blood worm or u can try feed them 'longkang fish'(drain fish).The drain fish must be quarantine with anti fluke, anti fungus and anti bacteria before feed to ur fish.It's fun....

Hope that help.cheers.
