Regular Member SGcvn69 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 4, 2020 Wow! I have never seen one! Had no idea! I had to get one when I saw them! Not sure what you look for in a good quality one, but I tried to pick one that didn't have too bumpy of a top[line and not too elongated. What does TVR and SVR mean? I know they get their fish from Florida. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tvrs are to be viewed in large bowls in which they raise there goldfish, especially in past. Svrs are ment to be seen from the side. Most 🇺🇸 fish are these kinds. You can find tvrs here but are less common. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranchu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted February 5, 2020 Admin Share Posted February 5, 2020 Now if goldfish was a tvr his wen would look more box shaped. Meaning going more out ward in the front jaw area... Kinda hard to explain. Lol Goldfish is your svr ranchu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the wen sometime there are foods to claim to make there wen grow but I really don't know if they work. 😒 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
