Lionhead And Ranchu Difference Options

[stan]

Hi, i just found this web site,

I posted above topic on above at arofanatics, thought i would post it here to get better response.

What is the difference between a Lionhead and a ranchu?

Lionhead-- much head growth, short stout body, small tail.

Ranchu- less head growth, longer body, open tail.

Or
Liohead is for side view,
Ranchu for top view,

Are these 2 species of fish or the same fish bred differently to have different attributes.[COLOR=orange][SIZE=7]


someone pls enlighten,

Hi BB

What's happening here is here a simple explanation to newbies who have trouble differentiating a lionhead from a ranchu. 

The analogy given by Stan is simple enough and correct enough to help newbies a little.  Hopefully they can understand the basic differences first before they probe deeper.

It's obvious you understand the difference between lionhead and ranchu.  You have to put yourself in their shoes to understand why your explanation will be very difficult and continues to draw a blank for them.



Don't worry about it being misleading... it not that far off and those who already understand won't be be bothered to read this thread to begin with. 

ok, got what you mean.

Agree with you, it is like have to baby talk with baby, right?
