IndoMalau
These were created by the Indonesian
Luohan Club (ILC), using a
Golden Monkey (or
Malau) female and a
Zhen Zhu male. The second generation was spawned from the
Elvis selection and a
Golden Monkey female. The strain is characterized by extensive pearling all over the body, face, and head. What distinguishes an
IndoMalau's pearls from that of a
Zhen Zhu or a
King Kamfa is that they are extremely fine. As the fish ages, the pearls become more intricately woven and thinner. Flowerlines vary dramatically; some only have a few flower spots. Most ILC
IndoMalaus will include some singular flowers on the back line or "top row." The front half of the fish, from the pectoral fins forwards, is red. The back half is a golden gradient intensifying in color towards the tail. The body is very wide and high, a throwback to the original
Luohan. There is a very pronounced chin or "gobbler." The head is usually forward-protruding. The tail is fan-shaped, close to that of a
Kamfa. The dorsal and anal fins lack trailers, a common trait found also in
Zhen Zhu. The caudal peduncle is very large and pronounced in this strain; this helps prevent development of a drop tail.
