Black Ranchu With Pom Poms, Black Ranchu Options

[Kinder]

Hi ALL.

Bought this Black Ranchu frm display tank, since the ones in the other tank were awefull (floating). This fish is only abt 9cm but what i liked abt it was its bodyshape and growth, here in Australia we get skinny small fishes by comparison this blackie is quite built. & my 1st BR

But problem is this ranchu has pom poms on its head ....so im confused as to why is this so, is it a normal thing of certain BR's (black ranchus)to have pom poms? another thing in the shop this fish was labeled a lionhead...if im not wrong then they were doping

So plz folks/Gurus can you inlighten me about this fish with pom poms & does it mean pom pom reduces the quality/grade of fish. I was able to attach 1 pic as i was limited to attach 100k. More pics of Marcia in my gallery.

thanks you all

Yeah now looks more like a ranchu, just not show grade. I agree that all kinds of fish can have pom poms however I am not sure whether they are allowed in competitions - the standards don't normally include pompoms right?
not sure anyways - need a higher level person to comment on that.
