New Ranchu, Very Large Wen Options

[kingyo08]

Hello, i ordered a ranchu off the "goldfishnet.com". He has arrived, and wonderful, i had never seen one in person before so it was very exciting. My only worry is that his head growth is SO large, that it has started to cover his right eye completely. the left eye is covered half way. He doesn't seem to find food very well, he will swim right passed it... and sometimes swim into the glass walls. I have heard of "wen trimming" but i do not know where i would go to have this procedure done. Any suggestions? or am i just worrying too much?

I have a lionhead with a huge wen either and he doesn't have any problem finding the food. He uses his nose to smell around at the buttom of the tank during feeding.

I personally not recommend surgically trim the wen because it is not only create alot of stress to the fish, but it also will kill the fish due to infection.
