Thai Against Chinese Options

[LASERGUY]

can you get a better picture on the tail of the thai ranchu please  , and if that's how he holds the tail, with the bent usually I don't think it'll be a very good future specimen since a ranchus tail is very important IMO

The chinese ranchu needs a straighter back IMO

too bad i don't focus on ranchus as much as I do dragons

Hi Maniacholic, are you refering to a "chinese lionhead" instead, which a straight back is essential to be a good specimen ?

Off topic but I believe that temperature is the controllong factor with regards to dissolved oxygen (DO).That means by increasing aeration will not increase DO unless water or room temperature is lowered.

So I suggest maybe turn on the air-conditioner in your fish room for 24hrs if you want to maximise DO 

Yo CPIW or are you from CPIB

Dissolved oxygen in the water is influenced by various factors in which temperature is one of them.In our climate and especially in my fish room,temperature can be uncomfortably high.So to compensate we need vigorous aeration to ensure adequate oxygenation.Here is a thread to enlighten you on dissolved oxygen

Disregard the final sentence about gas bubble disease as I'm not running a hydroelectric plant ,neither am I creating a Niagara Falls...........

I thought ranchus need a straight back near the face and only a curve at the butt

This experiment is conducted with no eventual winner in mind.I just like to share with you two different racial specimen of similar build being subjected to similar environment,diet and upbringing to further evaluate which particular breed suit our climate ,our taste and perhaps our aspiration to own which type.

Things that I would like to assess include (as cpiw has spell out)
color
size
headgrowth
scalation
but also disease tolerance(if there is any outbreak)
Gait,Swimming posture

Let us not conclude or predict the outcome for the moment

90 days is all it takes and mark this date on your RG calender to view the outcome

Strictly NO SNEAK PREVIEW

So whether it is Chinese Kung Fu or Thali Boxing that prevails there will never be any MORTAL COMBAT.

Hi Maniacholic

Perhaps you can look up this thread to tell the difference

I know the difference and some of the guidelines, I am just having trouble wording my comments

i guess i understand what u meant by straighter back ... kekekeke ...

it's one of the obvious different between a chinese and a thai fish other than the scaling. It's straighter becos it has a longer body.
