Regular Member JohnF Posted September 15, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2006 Tnx for your warm welcome Ranchugirl. Sorry but do not have any pics at the moment. The ryukins used for the batch mentioned above are in fact quite new. I just got them from Thailand about 6 weeks ago; aa grade; approx 2.5" (I hate buying large fish) with a very nice distinctive hump and a high erect dorsal. In fact I used a red & white female and the milt of two red males. As said, these Thai fish, although a bit expensive, are quite nice. I actually bought 12 - 7 are great, 1 is very nice but will not be using 'him' for breeding since he has only 1 anal fin and the other 4 are Calicos. The Calicos are also nice specimens to look at, but in my opinion they lack most of the true Ryukin characteristics. Cheers John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member JohnF Posted September 15, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2006 btw have been goldfish fanatic for these last 40 years and have done some judging in local fish shows. I can assure you that the Maltese goldies are quite similar to Asian and American specimens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member SGcvn69 Posted April 17, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted April 17, 2019 Do babies like non-moving food? I have never been successful in raising baby goldfish. I used to get eggs all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about a week after birth the yoke sac is gone and then you feed them yokes of hard boiled eggs or Sea Monkeys 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
