Hi Goldfishmadman,


3)seems that there r basically 2 types of ranchus(ie.Jap vs Thai), so how do we appreciate them? Body shape? Swim posture? How do we tell the difference btw a show grade n another which is not?


Hope to hear it fr a pro himself.

Appreciate swimming of the fish of the breeder. Each has it's own swimming one good racnhu takes both to under stand the fish. So that the out come will be excellent.

To have this year excellent fish. Is up to your hands to do the job.

Hi where do you buy your ranchu from. Can you tell me.

Answer
1) To look out for fish first of all you must understand the breeder. Then you will be able to understand. Ugly fish is a good fish.

2) To buy good Ranchu i have heard of This two person name Alvin and Ron. They sell good quality ranchu. So far i have not seen their fish. But give it a try they have very good players from what i heard.

3)To appreciated a fish you have to understand the breeder and Ranchu. To buy a good Ranchu is best buy Show grade. Most Ranchu win their fish from there. The best bloodline is still Jap. Very fine. Is like a string with no nots on it. Look at the scale and head you will know. Very much different.

4) Feed 3 times in the morning.

5) 3 months all fish you will be able to see it. For nice fish use green water. Some Fish is 1 year nice 2 year not nice. Some fish 1 and 2 year not nice but 3 year nice. It is very hard to find fish 1 to 3 year nice. .

6) It is not easy to breed forget it you need space. Most Luo Han use Line breeding which is not very good. Is best use Cross Breeding with the same line. Pick of mother and father must be there or else they don't look like parent. Use human as a example. Why first child looks like mother?

I keeping just normal goldfish at the moment but will add ranchus in the next 2 weeks when I free. Sry I'm a newbie..But wat do u mean by "must understand the breeder"? I believe there's few varieties around so I more interested in knowing the traits of some of them. For e.g a Luohan Jinhua will have the traits of full wrap tails,etc..If not, someone can just come along n tell u its "show grade" BUT wat justify a showgrade standard??? ANd u say the goldies will change its "look" thru the yrs? Is it similar to Luohans whose genes r not stable? I tot these goldies r ard for very long? BTW wats green water? How can we tell a Jap ranchu fr a Thai ranchu??

Appreciate yr answers here.

Can I know the contacts of Alvin n ROn??

Date of registration is 1 day apart..similar number of post made..same location in the west...both appearin in same posts supportin one another...same font with no spacing in nick...smells alot like a clone to me.

Can the MOD check on this?

aw_i,

I have looked into your concern, and i have taken a look at both users logged ip addresses and they are different. Meaning that most likely goldfish fever and goldfish madman are not the same user.

If you have anymore concerns, please notify me.

Regards
