Hi Paul,
First of all, welcome to RG. I am from Brooklyn. I was searching for good quality ranchus for more than 4 months in NYC area. But I have no luck w/ yet especially with a good quality and small one. I went to almost every store.

Here is a list of site that have a decent quality of fish but I still don't satisfy with the quality.

Importing from oversea is not an option since there is a new rule from gov that restrict importing goldfish. well what can we do?

Dear Fred,

Many thanks for your reply, sorry to hear that you are in the same boat as me with regard to our Ranchu shortage.

I have been looking for a while also, perhaps I should just stick with my Ryukins and be done with it?

The government restrictions must be associated with SVC or KHV, I heard that restrictions were coming in but didnt realise they had already happened. I wonder if Ranchu eggs are covered by the same legislature? It could be a loophole that is worth investigating? Maybe eggs could be sent via overnight delivery?

Of course the easiest option is to find a hobbiest who already has some nice fish in this area. I have heard there is such a person in the Rockland area, he visits the same fish shop as me but despite leaving him a couple of notes I have not heard back from him.... is there such a thing as a Ranchu stalker?!? lol

Anyway, please keep in touch and let me know how you are progressing (or not). If I get any joy this end I will let you know.

Have you looked in any of the shops in Chinatown?

Best Wishes

Paul
