Tail is too big for my liking.The shades of gold near the belly is another minus point; and for these Thai black ranchus, usually the headgrowth would have fully covered the eyes at this stage.Nonetheless, it is far superior compared to those blackies that you have in the background.
I do not know how much goldfish costs in Australia, must be pretty expensive since collectors and LFS are very rare.Here in Singapore you can get one of a similiar quality for about $50. |

Thx for the reply, CP.
You're right about the collectors and LFS in Australia, especially in Perth. There are alot of LPS, but not LFS, and there's only one LFS that sell the fancier kind like black ranchu & blue butterfly dragon-eye of respectable quality. Sometimes I feel a bit jealous of u guys there living in Singapore. Thx again for the reply  Any more comments? |
