Cheddar, the goldfish, is carefully crafted from a variety of yellow scallop shells, with very small moon shells delicately used for the eyes. The yellow scallop shells get their color from pigments in the food they eat, primarily plankton, and the warmer the water the more brilliant and vivid the hue becomes, often producing a richer, more luminous tone that brings the sculpture to life.
