Correct me if I am wrong. The original Lionhead from china have a back that is almost flat when view from the side. Ranchu on the other hand has a nice curve back but lesser headgrowth. The lionhead has wen growth all over its head including the underside of its head (chin). Buffalohead is used to describe ranchu with very pronounced checks. Some even refer to it as horn. Goosehead is used to describe those goldfish with very prominent hood growth like the red-capped oranda.
Thus lionchu is a term coined recently by some Singaporean to refer to a goldfish with a ranchu body with a lionhead instead of the usual buffalohead. |
