pardon me being straightforward....
its back is slightly saddlebacked..... a major flaw in sideview ranchu appreciation... look like a low grade Thai... no offence... ![]() |

Apologize for the poor shots. mind to tell me where u get this piece?? i very hard up for black one........ by the way, Ben and Keong seong KS got a couple of baby black ranchu. donno if they are really black or baby ranchu still in black. the reason i can't differentiate is that KS is totally black, but Ben ones have golden scales coming out of the back. but small lei at max 1.5-2 inches |

Hey buggy...
Teach you a trick; there's no such thing as a Black Japanese Ranchu. Period. ![]() This piece is terrible looking. ![]() Go to the FAQ section and read up how to pick out a good ranchu, and study pics that bros' posted on their ranchus in some of the threads here. Am I the only one also somewhat bothered by the "face" this black ranchu has? Strange looking isn't it? ![]() |

It seems nobody mention the colouring. A good black ranchu should be entirely black. Not a speck of gold please even when you shoot the fish with a powerful flash light.
And then there's the matt black type; torkong! |

Hi,
Thanks for all the comments. I will certainly read up the FAQ first before my next purchase ![]() whtan1, I bought them from the LFS besides Nature Aquarium. $13 each. Was there to buy some CO2 equipment and saw them. Last 2 pieces liao. One question : How to maintain the black coloration? Maybe the experts here can enlighten? ![]() Rgds |

You mean these are the pair of black ranchus that won the Qianhu Competition? Wah lau.. see beh sayang...
Anyway I see the condition of the fishes in the tanks that day... like very badly maintained. I happen to see their staffs change water for one of the competing tanks... See beh rough. If I have any fish for competition I also scared put there. |
