:) hi, nice cute red fellow... it is a male ba, can spots at the fins... if the wen can grow bigger in times to come will be better... anyway, is my own view onli.. take good care of it and enjoy.. Thanks.

nice red...:D

nice red SV there

Nice GF, weel worth the money. Good colours.

Nice svr. Bro

ang ang SVR.......might be photo taking angle...your first pic showed the right side of the ranchu has one scale dropped....maybe just colour fade off..:D

Need to pump him up abit.

Is that a temporary tank? Too small for the fish. Nice color, need to pump more. gd catch.

oh. is my little friend too skinny? how should i pump it?

yup. it is very active.. i cannot take a proper pic. so i put it into a betta tank to take pics.

IMO, have more frequent pellets meals plus FBW as supplements....

Welcome to GF keeping:p . nice male fish you got there. nice curve and color. :)

jus wanna ask how u bros feed FBW to ur gf. coz if u pour the FBW into the water u need to off the filter as it will get very messy.. or u all use the cone net to feed?? i tried using the cone net thing but my gf all blur blur never come eat from the net so i got no choice but to pour the FBW into the tank..
got anyway to train the gf come to eat from the cone thing??

Bro u still owe me an answer leh.

i once had a oranda. i think i pump this way.. tio SBD then cannot make it le. it start to float on top.. then few days later it just lie on the ground and cannot swim anymore. now i am very fearful of feeding my goldfish too much.:o

hmm wad i feel is must hav a control.. not say keep feeding.. like feed 75% full then let the fish rest for abt 2-3 hours then give another feeding till 75% full and i feel no night snack..

thanks. now this newbie in my qurantine tank alone. i only feed him 1 pea a day.:p

lol ya when i QT my fish i oso feed them pea nia.. like wash away the toxic in their body..

haha.. thats what i thinking too.. detox 1st. how long must i QT it huh.. b4 i into him to new friends

maybe u read this thread can help u haha..

Feed the pellets that the gf can consume finished within 1 minutes and wait 2~3 hours before next feeding...small amount but more frequent....FBW is the best for gf....:D dont feed them at night as they are getting lazy....

I wil defroze the FBW using tank water then OFF filter and pour the worm inside for gf to eat....they will finished up within 3 minutes...:D

i never put yellow powder leh. only in a 1ft tank. with some salt and a coner wool filter.. thats all

ya lo no choice hor.. must off the filter see them eat finish then on again haha..

bro, are you worried that the cat behind will eat up yr fish.;) (yr avatar pic, aka fa cai mao)

April fool joke heehee, trying to cheer up everyone here:D , today most bros all not here.:)

huat cai for the cat not for the owner.....:D joking onli....

there is a reason that cat is there.:p this fish refuse to come near the camera. keep showing me backside. so i put a cat there and wave its paw. the fish get abit frighten and thus swim nearer to my camera.. then i faster take a shot.:D

hahahaha, tat a good one.:D :p

thanks for the comments. will pump this feeder up and update you guys. cheers:)

looking forward to.:D

hi... during QT, i usually dun feed them at all... :)

. but it look like beggin me for food. so i give it a pea:)

hahaha... as in "a" pea.. i think ok ba... hahaha... :D

good luck, take good care of it... :)

You can tell the gender by the fins?

WElcome to Goldfish keeping. Bro

Comments:

Tail too big. (Remedy: Pump this male so that it wont be so obvious.)

Body not proportion so need to pump more. (Remedy: FBW will do the trick)

Overall, a value of your $$. Color seem good.

Just make sure plenty of fresh water is added when you start to pump this fella..
