Ryukin / Growth / Development Options

[rmb]

hi..

looking at buying some small baby ryukin in the UK.

the fish are only 5-6cm long and show no sing of a "hump" . Is this normal ? and when would one expect young fish to start showing a hump.......?

Hope you can advise

thanks
Robert

I just wrote an article for the American Goldfish Association on the cost of a goldfish. The premise was that the major cost of a goldfish is not the cost of the fish itself, but the money spent on equipment, feed, electricity, water, etc. If you are going to spend $100 to take care of a goldfish over it's lifetime, them why buy something second rate just to save $10 on the purchase price.
