Regular Member hpsauce Posted October 8, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 8, 2009 I am back from my trip out to Dorset with my (hopefully) last additions to my tanks. It took all my will power to leave with just one of the ranchu they were all lovely and I would have loved to have a pair So here they are in their bags acclimatising. I am thinking of the names Wellington and Huxley (not 100% convinced yet ) Wellington is very small and has no sign he should be an oranda yet Huxley's amazing and the more I look at him the more I want another one We are not sure Huxley is the original from the pictures as they have changed so much so I just picked the one I liked the most, which was hard. I am going to take a while introducing them as the water they have come from is very hard whereas my water is very soft so hopefully more pictures tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member hpsauce Posted October 14, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks Huxley isn't a pearl scale he is just a ranchu. I don't think the black/grey on his back wil last so he will be mostly white with some yellow patches. Huxley is doing well but Wellington seems to be having a hard time adjusting to my very soft water as he came from very hard water, he has produced alot of extra slime coat and is a bit clamped up. He is still eating so I hope he will adjust given time. Morph and Huxley came from two different places but there are a few places with nice goldies within driving distance.

Regular Member jyoti411 Posted October 14, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2009 Very beautiful fish!!..Huxley gets all the attention.Love him..I like Wellington too....Hope he grows his wen soon... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hpsauce Posted October 17, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2009 Unfortunatley Wellington went down hill and I found him dead this morning, I guess maybe the change in water conditions was to much for his little body to adjust to. Huxley is fine and so cute I am thinking of getting another one from his batch instead of another panda oranda to replace Wellington. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest laumar Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Congrats to the two new fish. They are sooo cute and look even cuter in the aquarium. By the way the pictures you have made are very good. I really like them. I am not able to make such great pictures with my camera. Maybe I need a new one in order to make such great pictures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Anielynn Posted October 19, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2009 Sorry to hear about Wellington. But i don't think you can go wrong with another ranchu. Huxley's a doll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
