Swee boh?
I know I once said I don't like Oranda but... lately I've been quite fascinated by them especially if they have massive headgrowth. I also said I don't like calico goldfish ... but... given a choice... I still prefer a "normal" goldfish.  Here's the first of two I bought in Hong Kong.  |

QUOTE(eddie @ Fri 05 Mar 2004 11:37 PM) brother, can explained to me what does this mean - Minimum length of caudal fin to be 3/4 of body length and which one is caudal fin and Fantailed fish, ie fish whose caudal fin is held high, will be disqualified  Caudal is the better known as the tails. Here's a pictorial guides to fins. http://puregold.aquaria.net/pg/disease/technique/fins.html Umarked in the pic, the anal fins (can be single fin) are those that stick out next next to the... anal. Different cultures have different judging criteria and preferences. I talked to a few oranda lovers and they all tell me an oranda's tails should be held up. These are people who prefer chinese oranads. Myself find both types acceptable and appreciate them differently. |
