AAA vs XXX, one big one small ranchu Options

[goldrush]

This week movie shows a AAA grade small 2inch ranchu(sold to me as one) against a XXX 6inch monster.It is a David or Goliath in the making.An epic not to be missed.Film critics please give your honest opinion.Your votes count as it can raise a Titanic or sink a Posseidon.The static images are a bit blur because of their fast- moving capture but nevertheless breathtaking(ha ha ha)



Together in tandem



Special features

Small ranchu wears a white cap extending right up to its upper lip.A recent bout of suspected parasitic disease and medication has left it with a classic case of reversible melanogenesis on its body.



Large ranchu
A pair of narial bouquet of white pom pom offer some contrasting rarity to an otherwise monotonous metallic gold tone.

I prefer the small one leh.Got 'birthmark' on head too.


Name it Gorbachev.

I like the Bigger Golaith. The white pom pom very cutez. Wriggles when he swims. Any update on Big Fella?

[goldrush]

Another 3 months has passed

Little Gorbachev has touched 5 inch in length
His body has thicken and gain in strength
Scales are shiny and more refine
Profile appears good and more define
White begins to disappear from its midline snout
Wen looks wanting for there's nothing to shout
Overall it's still a beauty,hope you can agree
Far from perfect to a certain degree......

Here are the latest pics

A Beauty, this Gorby, He certainly is,
Who cares about his wen? Just leave him be.
Nary a defect, my naked eye sees,
How plump and majestic, he has grown up to be!

something not rite with the tail ...... erh ... pic not clear.

[CP]

I am glad that Gorbachev has turned out a beauty ; only regret is that tail looked a little small compared to body.But, I like the shape of the tail though.

I hope that it still swims pretty horizontal like when it was filmed.Lets hope it grows further and should be ripe for the next comp in Dec...........................

Hi Bro,

Indeed a beauty that need an expert to groom is a perfect match between owner and fish that can reach this level of standard. Look forward for its full bloom potential.

good job bro

Now this is the Goliath and how it has grown

Notice the enlarged nasal bloom(pom pom) which has grown over the months.

Incidentally this is one of the fish that got burned by oxygen supersaturation but it is on the road to recovery.


See the enlarged pompom
