Let me expand it a little bit.

The tails must extend horizontally out from the joint a little first before it starts to drop down. Otherwise, you won't be too impressed by the wrap around effect; just look at pheonix. When you look from behind, the wrap round tails is an inverted Y vs an inverted V in pheonix's case.

i also say the same on the tail.
but as long as it could swim "properly" and in balance condition,
i don mind owning it leh.

The tail deformed meh ???
Look at this yokozuna ranchu that looks good both on top and side view...

Eh, say something more constructive lah...don't be sacarstic leh...
Jin tulan....

I'm in loooove.

I've seen in your previous posting this gorgeous ranchu's side profile. You did mentioned it looks good from the top too. Seeing it now I'm not disappointed.

Laser, have you seen similar long bodied ranchu of this size WITH this kind of tails AND such massive headgrowth? I've not.

I think they are very rare?

Those i've seen with similar features usually have bad back when seen from the side. But of course, it's said a good tv ranchu looks good from the side too, but unfortunately rarely seen. I guess there are gorgous sv ranchu that looks good from the top too but again rarely seen. Sigh.

Having the best of both world is godsend.

can't deny this is the best i ve seen thus far in having a well balance side and top view. yokozuna title means got substance.

for a sv , i still prefer the conventional normal tail than the wrap around effect of this yokozuna ranchu.

i withdraw my statement that this type of tail is deformed. pai sei

These SVs see peh sui!Yours?

If this piece is mine I will appreciate it from the side.

How does a ranchu attain the rank of Yokozuna?Is it the same way a sumo wrestler attain the rank (by winning 2 consecutive bashos (tournaments))?

no, these were offered for my picking last yr in thailand. but wallet not enough to buy all. i am sure these could be found in the many LFS mentioned in the sticky thread.

These I reckon are at least AAA.Seldom get to see a shipment full of these stuff,normally just one or two out of 10 that arrives.

Is this a nice fish ?

kind of a fun when u ve so many choices and are spoilt for choice huh.

still can find in spore here, just ve to be patient or u talent spot one potential one and groom to its full potential. AAA/showgrade is just grading tag to fish by pplp.

No,I dont like it.

Mai hiam mai hiam (since I don't know whose ranchu it is. )

Swee ah! I love chubby (as a complement for things cute and cuddly) ranchu! The smallish tails exergerates its chubbiness, doesn't it?

Who can't love that adorable face with that permed hairdo? Ha ha.

isn't this the champ at this year's competition in China or something??
