Yes, same address actually housed only two Ah Peks. Those concrete ponds behind are rented out by the inside Ah Pek, to some Mollies Hobbists for breeding their show fishes. Both Ah Peks sell Ranchu, but outside one seems to have better quality than the inside one (who has quantity and thus, cheaper.)
Summer Koi's Ranchu are very ex, already checked them out last year, was 300+ bucks for 2"~3" fishes. Don't know whether really from Japan or not. Can look see look see only.

Oh, forgot, Summer Koi is located at the next entrance on the left immediately after the Long Kang. Same entrance also serves two farms, Summer Koi is the one right inside, full of concrete ponds but the last time I checked, Ranchu were kept in the indoor tubs.

did not really explore the place well. i went to the ah pek's house which was nearest to the main entrance. he placed 2 tanks of ranchu near there and i nearly bought two of those 5" orange coloured ranchu! the other tank housing white/red(or white/orange) smaller ranchu about 4" looks good, too.

Oh, if you really want to buy, remember to bargain ! Sometime, if you ask, he will give discount depending on his mood.

Good buy, bro ! Is it That batch of Thai black ranchu was in the blue tub ? They were imported around 2 ~ 3 months ago, due to the LH craze, that ah pek had hard times pushing them. Initial quote was $40, then down to $30 last month, wah! now $25! Imaging this size of Thai black, Rainbow is quoting > $60
Just need to pump them up a little bit, and they will be very nice.
