Ranchu Wen Problems, Help!, how to indentify ranchu wen ? Options

[Donny041280]

My SVR have a small wen(8 SVR), i have treated with green water and high protein foods, but still little wen growth.
but i'm suspicious that my fish didn't have any gene for wen growth

- size : 2 inches max
- great body shape but poor wen growth (only tint of bumps)
- buy in Tanjungpinang at Rp. 15.000 (about SGD 2.20) the LFS owner said that it was imported from singapore

my question are..
1.does cheap ranchu's can still have good wen growth? like the ones from China (huge wen all over the head, Kinda babyface look
2. how much typical price for BBR from china and thai? (2 inches)
3.hikari lionhead, will it help?

thank you so muuuchh

Hi, what colour are your ranchu? Calico ranchu can sometimes be more prone to smaller head growth, especially cheaper ones. 2 inches is still very small but there should be at least an impression of a wen, ranchus have a more refined head growth than lionheads so it will never be that big in comprison. In my experience hikari lionhead does seem to help with head growth as well as general body form if fed regularly but there has to be something there in the way of wen to build uppon i.e. it wont give a small wen fish massive headgrowth. hope this helps.
