gran'sgoldies1 235 Posted October 26, 2013 He was brought in as a ranchu but he was the only one out of six that had the head growth and he doesn't have much of a tail tuck. What do you guys think? Lionhead, ranchu, lionchu? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.B 2,535 Posted October 26, 2013 He's adorable!!! I don't have any idea for sure, but he really does have that elongated look if a lionhead, what an adorable penduncle. Lol fun word, I hope I spelled it right. Congratulations on the new, beautiful fish. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenSpoiledRotten 6,786 Posted October 26, 2013 I say wait until he grows out before deciding. He could still be developing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4prettyfish 2,702 Posted October 26, 2013 Congratulations on getting your new fish. I hope qt goes well for you because I know you've had a really hard time in the past. If your new fish happens to be a lionhead..............how adorable would that be. I think Lionheads are so cute. Chu, Lionhead, Whatever your fish is, he or she is very adorable and cute. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gran'sgoldies1 235 Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks everyone for your opinions. He does seem to be more lionhead but we'll see how he looks as he grows. Personally I would like him to be a lionchu as then I could still call him my little chu. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted October 27, 2013 Hello, He does have more of a curved back but the wen is shaped more like a lionhead. So, I think he might a lionchu after all! We shall see! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeana727 952 Posted October 30, 2013 I don't think it'll work out for you............SO I am willing to take him off your hands!! You KNOW I'm kidding.....at least about the 1st part!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yafashelli 9,540 Posted October 30, 2013 I'd vote to let him grow up a little. When my Pumpkin was small, he looked totally different than he does now. Whatever he turns out to be, just know that he's a gorgeous fish!!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever he turns out to be, just know that he's a gorgeous fish!!! Thanks! I know I read a post just lately where they said that with proper grooming when they're young they can have minor bumps on their backs smooth out. Can't remember who said it but I'd like to know what they meant. His back isn't too bad but I would work on it if I knew what to do. But you're right, he IS gorgeous just the way he is!!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you feed them well, and keep their environment clean, it helps them grow up the best that they can be! For example, when I got my baby, he looked like this: After almost a year and a half of love and care, he's gone from nerd to hunk. Their bodies, much like ours, change a lot as they grow. That's what I think, at least. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will add peas, beans and spinach as soon as I get to the grocery store. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
