Why bother to ask? From his answers, he's shown that he's got no experience in fish breeding. Don't waste time lah!

Ranchu Lover did not buy his black ranchu with the purpose of breeding in the first place, but for viewing pleasure I believe.

Anyway, good seed selection skills or not, the truth is still only a small percentage of fry in a given spawn are of good quality, which is why the price of good quality ranchu is rather high. Same goes for about all the goldfish varieties(except maybe the original shaped common goldfish). Even koi is the same. Only a few hundred make it out of a few million, and even less if counting only the cream of the crop.

From what I remember, phenotype is attributes/characteristics that are seen physically. Genotype is hidden attribute/characteristic...hidden within the genetic makeup/DNA. (More than 2 years never touch my biology liao :P )

Well but "sifu's" fish are different and special. His are all pure and breed 100% true without any flaw. Not only that but all can grow to 12" long and never die.
