Wow leow... you guys could tell from that pic?  I'm hoping Nanik would take another pic showing the fish side-on.  As it is now, I find the tails are way too small (but then they're probably not when seen in the flesh.)  I like those cheeks though.  I would definitely go for another one with coloured fins; white ones disappears in the tank (to me at least) and make the fish looks deform. 

Hi all,

Thanks for all the comments, really appreciate it. The fish that I posted is not from our farm, it's from an importer who owns a shop, which he imports from Thailand. Not sure what grade it is as the owner is not willing to tell me (I think he is also not sure because he told me he picked it up because he likes the colour and also the head growth. Fair enough).

The tail is quite short but it's not that very short, only a bit short than what is an ideal tail. The body is a bit "bumpy" not smooth, though it's not obvious if you stand from far . The head and the "hood" is good along with the colouration, and yes the stomach is a bit "bulgy" but that's because of the photos, not because it is very fat (I'm not good at taking pictures)

But overall, this fish is not bad at all but of course you can't call it a showclass, as it is nowhere near to the showclass fish. , but I think it is a good exercise for us to see what is good and bad about a fish. But what I learn so far about fish, especially with ranchus, is that in every bad feature of a fish we can find a good feature about it too, so overall it complements each other
