Why har ??? can teach newbie ?      ( I think color can improve leh )

newbie's humble opinion   :
thai ranchu better than the PRC ranchu :
- better tail <- as mentioned by almost all the members
- better head growth ( cover eyes )
- smaller scales

Body shape wise, both are nice - good curvature, but I prefer thai

Goldrush, can reveal which is more expensive ? PRC or Thai ?

hahaha ... that's it. I guess I am the only one out again.
I prefer chinese fish than the thai. Not becos of the price, maybe the scale put me off sometime, but when comes to tail, wen and body mass, nothing beats the chinese.

Anyone purchase the TungHoi DVD and VCD at the show ? Watch the DVD and u will know how big is this fish.

To begin with,I do not purchase show quality fish.Of course I do not expect it to go very far.I just want any member's honest opinion base on their experience of keeping this particular line.Everybody is entitled to their own tastes and fancies.Correct me if I'm wrong but I ve yet to see this line being discussed and further dialogued in this forum and it is my pleasure to share with you all, this particular breed which I deem promising and should not be discarded.

Goldrush,

The PRC is a decent purchase. Is its tail slightly inbalanced? Like Laser commented earlier, only one side is wrap-around.

Anyway, it is evident that most PRC ranchus have coarse scale alignment. This is a big turnoff to me. Another trait I observe is the shallow peduncle (This COULD be reason why their tails are not so erected). I would prefer deeper ones myself. So unless I see a super good one, I would normally avoid buying PRC ranchus.

Ya, as usual you are the odd one out again (many times already,lost count).

Disregarding say the top 10% high quality showgrades, ie let us talk majority of the SV ranchus available to us, my take on the advantages of the following traits will be:

Scales - Thai
Tail - Thai
Wen - Thai
Funtans or buffalohead - Definately Thai
Curvature - Thai
Body mass - PRC
Calico variety - PRC

So if you are more into jumbo calicos PRC SV will be a better choice.

Sorry Goldrush to degenarate this thread into Thai vs PRC sideview ranchu but then again we have already had enough of Thai vs Jap TVs so it shd be a refreshing change.............

Scales - Thai
Tail - Thai
Wen -  Thai
Funtans or buffalohead - Definately Thai
Curvature - Thai
Body mass - PRC
Calico variety - PRC

Quite refreshing and a new kind of discussion indeed.

My choice hor ...

Scale : Thai
Wen : Chinese/Japan
Buffalohead : Chinese/Japan
Curvature : Thai
Body mass : Chinese
