Asked Seah (the owner) there, on possibility of ordering the book, but sadly , according to him the publisher in Hong Kong has already stopped printing them. Can't even find it in Hong Kong...

Would it be possible to scan the photo and post it in your gallery? I'm sure many of us will appreciate it. Dun worry; we'll bail you out when they nap you for copyright infringement.

Does Black Ryukin exists in other part of the world? I don't recall seeing a pic of one. I think it'll be awesome.

Thats what I meant...no SUCH THING. So, how can they be from Japan??

Is this the book with black covers and has many goldfish pictures on the front cover, titled Goldfish in Hong Kong. I saw this book in one of the LFS in KL a few years back. Also got the same story that it is out of print. Ever since, I have been searching for this fantastic book. I agree with Bro Laser all the goldfish pictures are damn solid. Anyone has this book I don't mind buying over even if it is torn. Is the owner Seah willing to sell or not.

Yes, this is the book. Already checked with him, but he is not selling his copy (they used to sell them at $38 when they have more copies few years back.)

Who say there is no black ryukin ? This is the picture to prove they exist in China.

These are the rare "Kuan Gong" Oranda.

Hi guys, I have taken some digital images of the picture in this book. Will try to post them in my gallery in the next few days, stay tune.....

those are very beautiful fishes. Got any publisher name on it or not ? maybe email and see got any reprint ?
