Please comment on fish and pics taking

hey, can't see a proper topview of the fish.

About your pic. There were actually four others (of similar pose) but they are a blur. Seeing you took one clear and sharp pic as seen above, it's obvious your camera has a macro function but you didn't use it for the other pics. Read up the following thread about Macro Photography.

Not bad ! but pic cannot tell how the tail looks like. A proper top view pic appreciated.

Sorry for the lousy shot.
Posting another few if it help?
Its one of my Tosai collection, this is 9 months.

Thanks

Tosai 9 mth old ? U sure or not ? Now only July, which means born Nov 2003. A nisai already.

Thai ?

This ranchu has an impressively wide skull, unless the position of the eyes is an illusion because they are protruding? How about a side-view pic, or a side-view close-up of its head please?

The pics are blur so I can't really comment on its tails except they look kinda small.

The scales are neat but it looks like the red colour is fading.

Overall an excellent ranchu!

PS. Get a deeper basin; prolong exposure of part of its back to air may not be good.

Nice fish but is it a floater ?

Nothing wrong with a Thai ranchu if it is beautiful. Very nice ranchu.

Frankly Frankie, I dun think it is nice.

It's not a floater.
Transfer fish into a very shallow tub for the pics.
Thought shallower water easier for shooting .

Wonder where u get all those nice top-views??

Will try to post side view. Do not have a tank at home?
The colour is lighter at the abdormant. Certainly not fading, infact have improve tremendously thanks to green water.

I think it is much nicer than those Kashino rejects being sold here.

Personally I only like the tail. The rest of fish cannot make it as a topview.

actually if we are to compare this ranchu with some of Geert's line, we will see the difference between Thai and non-thai (meaning Jap and Belgium) fish.

Please elaborate on that, so that I can highlight the points b4 I choose another ranchu.
Thanks!

Like I said, compare this thai fish with any fish from Geert. scrutinize every single feature. what are the differences? With my untrained eye, I can see that the head and body are very very different. I like Geert's fish, but I don't appreciate this thai topview (except for the tail which i find ok)

There are some experts lurking around here. They will be able to help you better. I am still only beginning to learn about topviews.
