Spend 2 hours in Qian Hu. Search every tub and tank for nice side view and finally bought him home.
Although Qian Hu has 20% on all goldfish for CNY, but I think the price is still expensive. I regret I didn't buy the thai ranchu during my last visit which is a lot cheaper and better feature than this one. I choose him cos of its head growth and pui pui shape. It's around 5 inches including tail. I've 6 ranchus now and this is the one which has the most head growth and best pui pui shape I like. And also the most expensive one. Please give your comments. |

You didn't say if you want to frank comments, suck-up comments, or the pics are just for viewing only? So everyone will assume it's for viewing pleasure only and keeping their mouth shut. How ah? |

(i can live with abit of scale, tails defect though), big chumky buffalo cheeks, must swim properly in tank, no apparent illness. which one meet the a/m criteria? i take the liberty to use this piece as a example which i tot meet the a/m. however it does has a scale missing. but i stand corrected also on this piece. coming back overall ok for a normal thai grade ranchu. it really depend on how much u pay for it. |

I can live with a bit of scale defect, slight anal fin and tail defect. It has feature I like but I have overlooked on the minor defects. If you compare with those in main glass tanks having major defects and costing twice or more, you'll find this a good buy. I can hardly find good or nice goldfish today. Price also quite steep after discount. The goldfish quality I've seen today can't fight with those few weeks ago. Good and nice goldfish might be snapped up for CNY. Let's hope they bring in new stocks of goldfish soon. Agree on pay peanuts, u get peanuts pay cashew nuts, u get cashew nuts but it might be in the other way round How much do you think it's worth for a normal 5 inches (including tail) thai grade ranchu?
