Heard that it is retailing for $20k.

It's not easy for some new hobbyists to understand why some going towards these "weird" fish ... actual fact, these are unique and rare to obtain one. Try find one in any of the farm and u will see them once a year maybe.

Introduce them a little okay ...

3rd prize: Long tail Lionhead. New variety developed some years ago. Tunghoi.

2nd prize: Classic variety, dragon eyes wen yu with pompons.

1st prize: Classic blue/brown wen yu with pompons.

Classic varieties are usually played by very siao people, becos these fish require big space and high speed swimmer. Cannot anyhow mix with other fanciful varieties.

dun be disappointed. just imagine those that use thousands to buy fish and still lost to those less than 500 or maybe lesser.

look at the fishes again and understand the judging criteria. this will never be reveal to the public, and u got to figure it out from the fish and all the picture taken.

let's see, 4 judges - Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, HongKong.

The result .... in term of Country of origin of the fish

Ranchu - Thai, China, China
Pearl - Singapore, Singapore, Singapore
Oranda - Thai, China, Thai
Dragon - China, China, China
Ryukin - China, China, China
Open - China, China, China

I stood proud to see Singapore bred fish taking the stand. A dream finally came true. China fish still a dominating force when comes to goldfish.

Those in blue are coming from 1 particular source. Got money, got fish.

Let's see from the color of the fish ...

Ranchu - RW, Bk, RW
Pearl - RB, RB, RB
Oranda - RB, Bk, RB
Dragon - RW, Bk, RB
Ryukin - RW, RW, Ca

5 RW, 6 RB, 3 Bk and 1 Ca. Black fish never fail to take 2nd spot. But always fail to take top spot.


Oh well, like I said before, size is not the final factor. Big fish might not win.

I have to agree with Seacucumber.The tail for the 3rd prize piece is not even erect.

I SSS (spit smelly saliva) on the ranchu cat results.Many other deserving ones in my opinion.

Aiya

The Big 3(Ranchu,Rhyukin,Oranda) usually no fight one lah
If China can PRODUCE 1 billion people they can probably REPRODUCE 1 zillion goldfish for them to select and compete at the highest level.
