It's epoxy paint. you can get any color with it. BUT it could be poisonous for certain type of epoxy paint. Therefore, using those resin for making fibreglass will be best.

thanks for the info ,but what the risen name?.Do the paint they used in koi pond?.I 'm planning make several simen tanks(DIY), and i hv 2 type simen that the landscaping fella bought for me .what is the dimension that u recommended for keeping nisai ranchu?.Tosai tank ,i hv no problem and nisai tanks need more space even when they in oya .

As i found out that why our KL fibre is more xpencive is the thickness of the tanks with bone cover in middle of the tank.

Can u give us more info?.u means that the babies only eat carpet algae!,for how long?.what type water that we must used in this stage,clear or green water?.What about if the carpet algae is limited ,not enough for the babies to consume.What is the solution?.need more guide .thanks.

Just got latest feedback from Japan. The babies doesn't need to go into full carpet algea diet so soon. Do not recommend to culture carpet algea with other fish in the tank. or can wait till baby ranchu arrive then start to culture. No need hurry on this matter.

On the other hand, you can start culturing carpet algea and continue feeding them with bloodworms after you recieved the fish. till you reckon carpet algea is thick enough, then you can start full carpet algea diet. But not now, I'll give update on when to start. For those who starts late, they can drag the diet longer, it's all flexible. Best is to share pic in the future for comments.

As long as the sunlight is sufficient and tank is not crowded, there'll enough algea for them. Don't worry as long as you setup nicely. Initial 100% clear water , maybe at day 4-6, you'll notice green water appearing. Then back to clear water after 100% water change. Normally, water change at this stage is around 1 week.

As my place water is very alkaline ,7.8-8...and very low in Gh and Kh.
After aged the Ph remain the same.

May I know what is the Ph of the babies ranchu in ur place?.

As i reliased that after 2 days in green water my Ph will drop in2 6.2 .After water change the second days ,most of my goldfish always cover with slime while the ammonia raise in the critical level due to Ph crash.
To avoid the tragic happen again,i add some coral in the tanks as a buffer.

Can i do the same thing adding coral in these babies ranchu after i recieved from u?.thanks.

As our sensei said... to be successful... gotta throw away what you've learn for the past many many years and start as fresh. Your past experience will confuse you. Simplicity is the hardest thing to achieve... so, don't worry so much in details.

Latest update,

For our own tanks, per 40 fish, which we have in our tank, we need to feed 100 grams of bloodworm per day... means for 10 fishes, you'll need 25 grams (quarter bag)...

Split to 4 times a day. 6 am, 8am, 10 am and 12pm.

For the full carpet algea diet, not so soon yet, need another few weeks more. So, don't have to rush on the setting up.

The fish changing colour a little earlier then Japan is mainly due to our weather. But it is ok. Let it be and everything so far so good.

Yes, Remember one thing. VERY IMPORTANT. Japanese Ranchu meant for top view. No one will care what's under. But it will/might effect the swimming a little and experienced player might possible to pick that up by viewing the swimming. It all depends on the indivdual fish, hard to say.

On the other hand, for the Japanese manners, it is very very rude to pick someone fish up and turn it up side down to view. It is equivalent to someone stripping some other's son and do inpection on that kid's backside. So, be very careful on this; punches might be throwing at you if that owner is a bad temper fella. If you really want to know, ask for permission first.

Pilik-Palak,

Just to answer your question straight forward, it's not
considered a fault according to the AJRS ruling.

therefore, it doesn't matter whether single or double anal fin.
