Thank you so much for posting these! This tank is even better in motion - they all look so happy and bright,(and entirely TOO CUTE!)!. . . and those plants!?

Love it!

Thank you!

Ah!! They are so beautiful in motion! You do have a truly gorgeous tank and fish. Ranchu, ryukin, and orandas. Just too beautiful! I want to model my future 75 gal on your tank!

Thanks for the nice compliments Izzy.

Do you say Ryukin because of the white fish with the red heart on her face? I have always thought she looked like a cross to me, since she has a small wen. She was sold to me as an oranda, but she definitely has strong ryukin traits.

I have some new pics too!

They look so fat and happy! And that (bigger) orange one's fins are drop dead gorgeous!

Thank you!

I marvel at your ability to take pictures of them. Especially the black oranda on the black background with black sand! I can't even get mine to stay still long enough.

She does have a small wen! I didn't notice it at first (partially because I was distracted by your ranchu :3 ). Honestly she looks a lot like my redcap oranda who never really grew a large wen (a mutt from the pet store). Either way, she's still adorable.

Thanks...mutts are ok;-)
Here's a sneak preview!

Your tank is breath taking. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Is that a new baby in quarantine? Going into this tank eventually? Woot!!

Oh and I can see the spots/stars on males's gill plates. Thanks for showing us that! I've been wanting to know what they look like since I heard about them.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you getting your new baby? I LOVE ranchu and want to get one when I can upgrade to a 75. Those faces!! I just melt for them!

Thanks for the nice compliments. Yes, this new guy will be here soon.

This fish, and my other two ranchus, and blue oranda are from DO{Dandy Orandas} They have an auction that usually starts fridays at 8 p.m., and runs until sunday. There is also someone called ECR{east coast ranchus} that a lot of people are liking. From what I have seen of their fish though, the quality is just not there to me.

I love DO. I've spent many weekends staring at his fish! He has excellent quality fish. I had thought about ordering from ECR, but I didn't think their fish looked the best either. Well at least not compared to DO.
