Honing Grooming Skill Options

[white horse T1]

wanted to submit this in academy but my purpose is not to let this piece be judged for its "beauty" but rather on whether the improvement is ok. criteria is also quite stringent in submission and i too lazy to take with newspaper leh.

this has been in clear water during quarantine for 2 weeks in Aug 04, thereafter in green water. then in clear water again for 2 weeks before soaking in green water again.

all in all, for 4 mths. 1 mth in clear water. feeding is twice only per day.
never measure the length when arrived so the growth is
i think judging by the size of my palm is at most half to one inch.

comments?

i go first..

you can actually overlay the first 2 pics to do comparison .. but the second pic is too blur to make judgement.. overall.. red scales has replaced the white scales beneath the body... and it has definitely grown broader. ranchus that look broad (from the top to the bottom) are always beautiful SV ranchus..

but i am not sure if it has benefited from the green water because the redness seems to have faded into a pale orange.. it could be the dull photo color .. and the headgrowth seems to have shrinked significantly..but hard to tell lei bro.. 2nd pic a bit blur.. take back take back

btw, can you confirm the tail is really tat small or is it the camera angle in the 3rd pic??

u are right on the quality of the photo taken. will take it in the same tank with black background. the first one was taken with flash light. but the later ones were not. Redness has improved.

hold yr comment will re-take the pictures

sure or not, fish where got grow so little. At least half head and 1 tail. thickness also ! a little too slim to me from the blurry pics ... ok wait for the re-take.

fish seems grew in broadness but not lesser length wise. hmmmmm what the heck u have been feeding !!!???!!!

tan,
according to your pic, actually your fish gain quite a bit of bulk....
but clearer pics might yield a fairer judgement on the fish....

There are quite a few improvements to this fish. One quite strange improvement is the colour. I notice the fish has whitish based but after the 4 months, the whitish area is gone!

Another is the bulkiness. Indeed this ranchu has been in good hands. It was quite skinny in the beginning, but now it looks just nice for a SV. Maybe can feed more BW for the hood.

this is as fast as i could take.

still no flash and it was taken in main tank. so got some reflection.
i am using the black backgrd tank as QT so don't want to do a quicky by putting this fellow in the QT tank holding the red/white ranchu.

the middle picture was taken during QT.

his main tank super big .. very hard to take photo.
suggust you go and buy those white guppy plastic tank.. just a medium one will do .. you can place it on the coffee table and take photo slowly. no stress.
