I suspect most of us keep Ranchu in our tank.

But myself have Ryukins and Orandas too.

Tell us which varieties of goldfish you currently have at home.

Just one oranda right now that's driving me absolutely NUTS...but I'm sure my list will gradually get bigger as I find more nice ones around here.

Oh and btw I kept goldfish, all varieties, since I was 10 so I'm not new to this, everytime I say I have one fish people think it's my first fish LOL However I don't consider myself a good goldfish keeper yet and I'm still educating myself. wink.gif

classified under "Other goldfish".

Why? You have them? Saw some Wakins the other day and I was quite tempted.

If I recall correctly, the 6 inches long ones (with a super nice ranchu tails) costs just $8.

Luckily the LFS old man told me to buy at least ten wakins - "...they look nicer in a group like koi do."

I gave up the idea of keeping just one after that.

Was at Yung Feng (aquafauna) and saw some long-tails ranchu.

Also saw one Jikin but it's terrible looking; very coarse scales and the tails looks deformed. It costs $48 only, however.

Those "long-tails" ranchus are actually deformed celestial eyes. Ranchu has a shorter and fatter body!

Those Jikins are the real thing though... but low quality craps. wink.gif
