Just want to find out or get views from fellow hobbyist. How big or long must a ranchu be, before it is considered as a giant ranchu?

If goes by competititon std, line drawn is usually > 16cm (head to tail-tip) to be considered big category. But people normally submit entries > 20cm, the bigger the more majestic and winning chances is higher.

I have seen Oranda up to size of 24cm (head to tail-tip, consider the tail length of Oranda longer then Ranchu). I think the record holder "Bruce" is 30cm, if I remember correctly.

For a Ranchu to have a size of > 20cm, I would consider that "huge", "giant", "jumbo", depend how you name it. Imagine the body mass, girth, it has.

I also noticed some people weigh their Ranchu and consider > 1kg as a std if being called a giant!

You can use Archimedes Principle.(The ancient Greek who discovered this during his bath in the bathtub, then ran around the streets naked shouting "EUREKA").

Basically it says that the mass loss for a body in water is equivalent to the mass of the volume of water that it displaces.

You should be able to figure out how to do it.
