Definitely worth the money and quite decent ranchu. Bro Tappytap...quarentine with salt and dont feed for a few days and observe the fish swimming. I think maybe bcos of stress from living in the small tank at the lfs, the gills a bit open and fish look not very healthy....I think under your care in 2-3 weeks time there should be vast improvement.
Thanks for sharing.

Just to add to bro Kit's comments, note the white patch on the ranchu's tail. That's most likely carp pox. You can get rid of it by raising the temp of your water as you quarantine your fish.
For $6, it is consider a decent catch and a piece to learn from. The head and buffalo cheeks are very nice. But the curve is not to my liking. Fort your next purchase, put more emphasis on a smoother, gradual curve. Headgrowth should always be a later priority. Because you can always improve the headgrowth by pumping bloodworms, but the curve will always be permanent.
