玉(yu)印(yin)頭(tou)(tou)魚是從紅(hong)高(獅(shi))頭(tou)(tou)中變化而來,全深(shen)紅(hong)色(se),頭(tou)(tou)頂(ding)生(sheng)有(you)白(bai)色(se)方形頭(tou)(tou)瘤,好似頭(tou)(tou)頂(ding)一顆方形玉(yu)印(yin),因(yin)此(ci)得(de)名“玉印(yin)(yin)頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)”。獅頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)型(xing)(xing)玉印(yin)(yin)頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)與高頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)型(xing)(xing)玉印(yin)(yin)頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)的唯一區(qu)別在于,高頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)型(xing)(xing)頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)頂(ding)的頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)瘤(liu)并不(bu)向兩(liang)腮(sai)下延,因此(ci)全部頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)瘤(liu)皆為白色,而獅頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)型(xing)(xing)的頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)瘤(liu)包(bao)裹了兩(liang)腮(sai),但只有頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)頂(ding)部分為白色,兩(liang)腮(sai)部分與身體紅(hong)色相(xiang)同,玉印(yin)(yin)頭(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)(tou)在色彩搭配上(shang)與鶴頂(ding)紅(hong)恰好相(xiang)反。
