Just bought this ranchu last Saturday. About 7 cm length. Tail and back curve are not so good, but this type is still rare. For your viewing pleasure and comment.

Thanks, Gohks.
QUOTE d)Last but not least, environment factors espeicially lighting is important. I believed not too strong and controlled lighting is needed. green water is always the best, espeically it shield the light. I also noticed goldfish kept in opaque plastic (blue is the best) or cement tank also help to maintain and promote the coloration. That's why some people have the inhouse glass tank background pasted "blue" or "black". Nowadays, fished are kept domestically in a cleared water tank without much lighting control and I think that is bad for goldfish coloration. Interesting issue. The LFS/farmer advise me to "sun-bathing" the fish for 15 minutes every morning, to keep the black color. I also heard that sun light is good for the coloration. Is it also good for black ranchu? |

That's why there can only be a few show grade "AAA" black Ranchu. ![]() |
