ranchu king:
are those in the gallery yrs or a collection of best ranchu?
either way, yr reply surprise me.

back to the topic:
with due respect and w/o sounding sacastic, my truthful comment is that these are ordinary ranchu. why i said this. search the forum for selection tips for ranchu. compared those with ranchu king gallery photos, u will find the differences.

i may not also have the best ranchu but from the limited experience i had, i believe these are the china type worth < $10 in LHS. if u ve paid more than $6, it is consider as exp alr.

HAHHA.... tio i buy 3 at $8.50

No matter its show quality or pet quality, as long as u like it, its a good ranchu! LOL!

this is not abt show or pet quality. this is talking abt fine art of appreciating ranchu. this is akin to sampling chinese tea in its traditional tea pot or fine wine in glass.
i ve learnt from buying $6 for 3 ranchus as well thinking that they are the best and a bargain, but the truth is they are not. if u are keen to keep ranchu, at least learn why u think the $8.5 is the best, why others are selling at $50, $200 and even thousands.
discount all status, financial and ego factors.

after all this is goldfish forum and we are here to learn and share.
i am sure u don want pplp to just "patronise u" with the "swee ah" , "not bad" type of comment when u post the photos.

for what it is, these may be feeder fishes paste here to humour us.

which is the reason why i hunted high and low last 2 weeks for ranchus that i liked... in the end, spent about 500 for 3 black and 2 red (all fr thai). not fr same place but worth the search and price.

if u r keeping few dollars ranchu, every ranchu u see in a shop will be nicer than those at home... thats when my hands will get itchy and buy and buy... end up being a ranchu farm. hence i went for quality.

bro,
that is an average of $100 per fish. there are not that many LHS in singapore selling quality thai ranchu. care to show yr prized hunt and divulge the venue. would want to visit them if they are new ones in the market.
