Regular Member crystal dixon Posted October 15, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am thinking about ordering a ranchu from Rain Garden Ornamentals. Has anyone ever purchased a ranchu from there before? How is the quality of the fish and wen growth? Please help me make a decision . Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member d_golem Posted October 15, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2008 From what I see, most of them pet quality. U pay more for better quality. Although I'm sure they're all as healthy as they come 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ran-D Posted October 15, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2008 They have a decent selection of ranchus from what I've seen over the past several months, but sometimes you see that they have yet to learn on judgement of a good quality fish. They've only recently started obsessing over goldfish (they've be doing koi for many years), but there are also a number of good articles on their site and it is encouraged that you ask the owner questions by email if you have any. I've been considering ordering from them for the last 4 months, and I've yet to see a sick fish. The wen growth is poor, except on the larger fish--and the larger fish wens are acceptable... consider that they are selling young fish--perhaps inquire about the parents or ask to see photos? Part of thier stock is coming from a different breeder, as they mentioned. Like d_golemn said, pet quality, but some are quite nice. It depends on what you are looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member crystal dixon Posted October 16, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well, I decided to go ahead and order a couple of ranchus from Rain Garden. I should get them next Friday. I will let you know how my experience goes and post pics of my new fish next week! Wish me luck ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member samoht70 Posted October 16, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 16, 2008 Good luck! I can't wait for the review... even their $10 fish are much nicer than what we usually get out here at the pet stores. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
