Neat&Tidy Assorted red and White Ranchu Goldfish - 2" ((Pack of 3 Fish) - Aquarium Exotic Freshwater Live Fish

✅ Fancy Goldfish come in hundreds of varieties today. However, the Ranchu is one of the oldest, most popular, and instantly recognizable breeds around

✅ What makes the Ranchu so special and why should you consider adding one to your Goldfish tank or pond

✅ The Ranchu has a unique story in the goldfish world. All goldfish have their origins in ancient China, where bright colors were selected for in outdoor ponds. The Ranchu, however, is a Japanese breed

✅ Goldfish imported from China were selected for several traits besides coloration: a squared head, thick back, no dorsal fin, and a horizontally spreading double tail

✅ Like all Goldfish, Ranchus love to root around and make a real mess. So give your Ranchu as much room as you can to keep the water quality from deteriorating too quickly

✅ Goldfish as a group aren’t super picky when it comes to water quality. They do prefer neutral to slightly alkaline parameters (pH 7.0-8.0) but thrive and even breed in slightly acidic conditions as well

✅ Temperatures are much more important. As temperature fish, Goldfish shouldn’t be kept much warmer than 75℉, with cooler always being better. Goldfish can also thrive outdoors and even overwinter under the ice

✅ However, fancy Goldfish like Ranchus prefer being kept around room temperature. Also they sometimes have trouble acclimating to the outdoors if they’ve been raised in stable tropical conditions

✅ Keeping ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels as close to 0ppm is important for all fish but especially for fancy Goldfish like Ranchus
