My new Platinum Ranchu

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice white lionhead. Not a Ranchu. Learn how to do 50% or larger water changes and get him a friend. With your fish keeping skills you can keep more than one fish in a 20. If they get too big youve got space there for a larger tank or set tem up a tub to truely appeciate them the way they are best viewed, from above.
Goldfish are incredibly social animals. Atleast one country has even outlawed keeping the alone.

Glad to see another person interested in Ranchu/lionheads.

It is a lionhead, you're right, my bad. We'll have to respectfully disagree about the necessity of having two to a tank, but I get where you are coming from. To be honest, my water changes probably amount to 50 % in that tank.

Thanks for the comment! :)
 
Over time you'll find all the people who give adamant requirements for stocking densities, filtration and water change requirements are knowledgable morons aka wikipediots who read something to learn the knowledge they preach vs people who learn by doing. You're skilled enough to move beyond goldfish keeping 101. I regularly do 80% water changes on static tanks (not on the central system) and that can really improve your stocking densities as does improved filtration such as uv.

They are your fish, by all means keep them as you wish But they will be much happier with a friend.

If you ever get to the point where you'll hae enough space for a couple fish I usually have small Japanese bloodline topview Ranchu to spare.

Hey, I'm positive you know what you're talking about. But fish keeping is most definitely situational. I may move to a larger tank soon with another 1-2 fish kept with him, but for now, the situation calls for, well, this situation. And believe me, i'm old enough and been in this game long enough to know about over filtration and massive water changes. Been there done that, a million times over.

Personally, and this is just me, having kept fish for 32 years, I don't think i'll ever be able to move past fishkeeping 101, just not in my make up to be a professional, just a passionate fishkeeper who takes the odd video of his fish to keep a record. I could probably fill auditoriums with information I don't know, and unless I live to be 300 (fingers crossed) I don't know that the volume of what I don't know will change much. :)
