If you keep goldfish that looks good from the top, such as top-view Ranchu, Butterfly Demekin, Celestials, Bubble Eyes, Tosakin, and to some extend, Pearlscale etc, you will probably want to appreciate them in a white enamel basin. The following ranchu in a white enamel basin belongs to bro xerovix.
The white background shows off their colour best as it does not cause colour distortion. A white (or red & white) shinny fish looks pink in a red bowl! Instead of enamel, you could use ceramic or plastic white bowl as well, but only an enamel bowl could give you the correct “look and feel." |

However, it’s difficult to find white enamel basin. Enamelware is getting less popular compared to inexpensive plastic or long lasting aluminium. Making matter worse is regular enamel users prefer coloured enamel as they look more beautiful and are more resistance to staining. I’ve seen some white ones at wet market but they have prints and not completely white inside. I guess aunties like them that way.
After looking high and low all over Singapore, Allan finally found a shop at Whampoa that sell white enamel basin. When I first wrote about the lobang, many bros were elated and rushed over to pick one up. So I’m not sure about the stock status now. Try your luck! Chop Singli, Location Map Block 82 Whampoa Drive #01-951 Ideally the basin should be 18-19 inches in diameter, but the largest one the shop has is 11 inches ($2.50). It also has a smaller 8 inches ($1.40) which I have quite a few that I use to defrost BW, salt bath a fish etc. They stack up very well and is space saving when not in use. The Fish Tank does carry huge one at 24 inches. I think it goes for $30 and quantities are limited. But these are really big, as seen in the following pics at the AJRS competition. Kawai! Finally, if you go to Bangkok for business or pleasure, I understand white enamel basins of all sizes are readily available! If you don’t bring back a Thai ranchu, at least bring home with you some white enamel basins! The following pic was taken at a Thai Ranchu Competition. Pom me nom yaa! If you happen to come across 18-19 inches on sale locally, do let us know your lobang. Thank you! |
