The caudal fin may measure half as long to equally as long as the fish's body. They are most commonly seen with metallic scales, colored shades of orange (or 'red', to fanciers) and white, or red and white. Celestials with nacreous or shiny scales are known, but rarely seen.
Tarpon grow to about 4–8 ft (1.2–2.4 m) long and weigh 60–280 lb (27–127 kg). They have dorsal and anal soft rays and bluish or greenish backs. Tarpons possess shiny, silvery scales that cover most of their bodies, excluding the head.
Clupeidae is a family of clupeiform ray-finned fishes, comprising, for instance, the herrings and sprats.Many members of the family have a body protected with shiny cycloid (very smooth and uniform) scales, a single dorsal fin, and a fusiform body for quick, evasive swimming and pursuit of prey composed of small planktonic animals.
Cosmine was first described in the Osteolepiform Megalichthys hibberti by Williamson in 1849, in a purely descriptive, pre-Darwinian, non-evolutionary framework. [4] Goodrich [5] expanded on Williamson's descriptions, hypothesizing a transition from a monoodontode scale (like a chondryicthian placoid scale) to a complex polyodontode scale through fusion of discrete units.

It will not show as blue in fish with metallic type scales, but will look blue if the fish has matte or nacreous scales. [1] The nacreous (formerly called calico [1]) scale type is produced in a fish that carries the gene for metallic scales, as well as the gene for matte scales (the fish is heterozygous). Only nacreous scales are accepted by ...
