even if u say it is a ranchu still not right. Ranchu head is not like this.

Yeah.. that's why cannot call it a true blue ranchu.

---> "Lionchu" lor...
This term can be so conveniently used. biggrin.gif
GFLover already explained, this is a short-term for Lionhead-head Ranchu.

Matrix, you got pictures of "fish head" to see the difference or not? I realised I only have lionchus in my pic collection.

----
OK... I try... see the pix below.
Hint is found on the wens. "lionchu" would have translucent watery wens in the shape of those "lumps" that looks like a.... Buddha's hair style...

Actually we have drifted a bit away from "lionchu or ranchu" topic

The difference between LIONHEAD and RANCHU has been discussed before:
http://www.RafflesGold.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=535

The explanatory pictures that void has posted are already nulled. I reproduce the pictures below:

Lionhead

Can you post a clearer pix of the head wens of your fishes? The wens would determine whether it is lionhead-head Ranchu or ranchu...

Lionhead enter as Ranchu in competition har .... if the judge is really expert hor, then dun even need to judge. Immediate disqualify. Submitting of entry is the responsibility of the owner, not the organiser. At least yet to see someone enter ryukin under oranda ... kekekekeke, try think about Dragon Eyes Pearlscale, should it be in Dragon eyes or Pearlscale ? hahahahaha

Other than the head growth, the main different is the body structure.

But now, simply too much inbreeding and crossing that the head of a ranchu lost the firmness of the original one. More of a mix of lionhead hood in a ranchu.

Not all lionhead is straight back hor. Some does have that, very very close, curve of the ranchu back. So the major different between a ranchu and a lionhead become very "rojak", genetic scrambling.

Simply term the cross breed of a ranchu with big overly soft growth hood as lion-chu. A Ranchu will be those with 2 distinctive cheeks and a solid firm hood and of course the usual nice body curvature. Simply why noone actually ask, why the Chinese term it as Tiger head ? Think and you will get the answer.

Have fun ! Shopping time !

Come to think of it... LIONCHU is also ranchu... It is just that lionchu is a lionhead-headed ranchu.

Rephrase, rephrase...
Suddenly I have more true-blue ranchu than lionchu happydance1.gif
