Hi Everyone,

Are there any RG members in the New York area?

I am currently keeping Ryukin but am looking to move over into Ranchu. My local shops only occasionally have Ranchu and even when they do the quality is very low.

I would love to get some very young fry or even eggs as I really do enjoy bringing on the smaller fish. (I have worked for many years on large salt water fish farm recirculation systems in europe and was responsible for all fry growth). For me the raising of the fish is the best part of keeping fish, but it always better to be raising good quality fish rather than something which will never mature into anything nice.

Anyway, thanks to everyone and happy fishkeeping

Hi Paul,

Ranchu greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.

I've read this book: Fancy Goldfish: The Complete Guide to Care and Collecting.
The link is here: http://www.amazon.com/Fancy-Goldfish-Compl...g/dp/0834804484

In that book, there is a Ranchu breeder named Izhak Kroshinsky. According the book, he lives in southeastern part of New York state.
Probably you can contact the publisher to find out more about Izhak Kroshinsky. Judging his offsprings by looking at the pictures in the book, I must admit that they are above average quality.

Hope my information helps.

Thanks.

Hi Chandramerpati

Many thanks for your advice. I will look and see if I can find him, lets hope he isn't too difficult to track.

Regards

Paul
