Ranchu Goldfish - New Addition

[SkarahW]

Good Afternoon, 

Yesterday we while at our LFS we were browsing and came across the very fish that my teen had mentioned wanting a few months ago. Ranchu Goldfish

This is Boba Pearl. Our latest addition, s/he is currently new fish quarantining and is awaiting the cycling and completion of his/her new home. We are new to this species. So, any advice, facts and experiences you can share are greatly appreciated. Specifically, we are setting up the tank this weekend, and were thinking of a planted and layering with fluval plant and shrimp stratum lava soil and river rock / pebbles on top. Constructive critisism welcome. Thanks guys and gals. We are super excited about our new baby!

Cute fish! So, where are you keeping el Ranchu while your tank is cycling? Is he / she in cycled water?

Yes. We’ve had a tank cycling for just such an occasion. It’s our new fish quarantine “tank”.
