Below attached is the left and right profile view of a ranchu I adopted from allan.
Allan paid over $30 for it at AC a few months ago. He liked it then but decided to free it after something happen. (WHAT?!!) I decided it's cute enough to be adopted by me. I carried on keeping it in the same environment; a community clear water tank with bio filtration with good water parameters but pH is around 7.5. So... what happened that made Allan decided to throw away his $30? Well....   ... it was an all black thai ranchu.  I bet in another month, all the black spots will disappear as well. |

It had a nice headgrowth and bulging cheeks. Are you sure this is the same fish? How could it lose colour and headgrowth too? Puzzling.

Erm... I have given it away.
It's impossible for me to keep a tank just for black ranchu. Keeping it in a community tank with a pH of around 7.5 ... simply doesn't work, as you can see.  What I don't understand is why it has lost its headgrowth and cheeks. There's a posting on this issue which I shall look up later.  |
