Hi all, I just started off this hobby by buying 2 ranchus. Please see attached pics. However, the more I look at the gold one, the more I think it looks of mixed parentage. Is it?

You have very good selection skills for a new starter. Both ranchus have nice curve. I personally prefer the red/white for it's better curvature and it being coloured.

Both are ranchus.

If you want to learn more on the different speciments and types, please refer to these 2 threads as below:

Agreed with Desireless and cpiw2002, the red and white is a better fish among the two. If the picture showes correctly, there is a slight saddles(depression) on the back of the red fish. Perhaps, by pumping up the red one, it will looks nicer....just my 2 cents....

Thanks for the encouragment, actually, I've been rearing all kinds of fish in the past since secondary school. Used to have 3 huge orandas which I reared from young until they spawned. They started eating the eggs and my mum removed them and placed them in a bucket without areation. This happened when I was at school. When I returned, all 3 were dead. End of story, moved on to other fish. Now, I'm back at ranchu smile.gif

Bought the gold one from AC seah. Known him for donkey years now, when I was still in NS and Jeffery and Ron still hanging out there. I just reserved another gold piece, china one this time, currently unstable at AC. Nice shape but colour lacking. Hoping things would improve when I feed him well in green water.

The red/white one bought from Pasir Ris farm, dunno which no. just know how to go. I had headache after selecting it. See until eyes blur.

You are right, the red one is thin. I feed them 5 times a day, small portions with Hikari Lionhead and bloodworms in green water. Hope things will improve for it. Will post pics again in a months time.

Hehe, he's my personal favourite too. He has such a cute face that I immediately settled on him without much consideration. It was extremely active and was begging for food chomping at the water surface when you bend over for a closer look. Seldom have such an immediate liking for a fish. smile.gif
