Firstly sorry about my lousy photo skills.

A grade Thai ranchu (according to the tank label).

I think this is also a TVR reject based on the wen shape.

3 inches (8 cm) long from nose to tip of tail.

First non-local (non Australian-bred) ranchu I bought. Price AU$30 (of course quite expensive but what can you do if u live in OZ).

What do you guys think? And what can I do to improve this ranchu to become a good mature SVR? (apart from fattening it up of course)

So are you advocating freeze dried or frozen worms stevo?

I used to shun bloodworms because of this strange coincidence that my fish would suffer from wen rot when they are on a partial bloodworm diet.

And someone in another forum just mentioned that formalin's used in the preservation of frozen worms.
