I do agree that Jikin is not so popular but they do look beautiful and it can grow to quite big size if u keep them well.

Uncommon.. mostly is one tone colour or mismatched colours on the scales. Havent seen the traditional " 12 reds pattern " here in Singapore yet.

Most Jikins stocks are hard to clear also due to its un-popularity , hence in my opinion they wont bring in high quality / mass quantity ones here.
