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  |

Yeah the website i mentioned is Star fisheries! I have never bought from them yet. But I have had a chat with the guy who runs the show and it all seems very good to me. They are pricey yes but I would have to agree with bekko. You shouldn't save on the price of a fish, after all its something you should enjoy enough to part with the money for a good fish. Aside from that I have found that buying older fish is much better than new born fish. I have lost a few young fish in my time but have kept all of my fish which I bought at around 3-4 inches. I think they have faced more disease and general problems and have left behind those to weak to cope with them and due to that they are more resilient.
Cheers. |
