Nisai, Oya and Retired Breeders

Its the end of the summer and with the sun lower in the sky I find the angle of the light seems to just make the ranchu glow.  This is one of my 6x6 foot ponds .  If you want to keep Japanese ranchu please understand the best path to success is with the traditional method of 100% water changes.

I'm recommending a precationary PRAZI treatment

The summer is winding down and this is a great time of year to do a Pazi treatment for flukes.  Flukes are extremely prevalent in both sick and healthy goldfish.  Prazi is such a cheap, safe and effective treatment, so why not?

I have been getting pure praziquantel powder on ebay for a good price.

Promising CBR

I am most hopeful about these CBR from spawn 2 this year.  Overall quality is just exceptional for my eye.  Great foundation for the head at such a young age!.....powerful movement.... flexible tail....

Here is a great suggestion from another ranchu keeper (17 x 22 inches):
