THIRD CULL IS COMPLETED - DOWN TO 89

Third cull is done with only 89 ranchu remaining from nearly 600 initial fry number. The focus is still on the tail shape. Now it is more or less easy to spot any imperfections, still looking from above.

After the baby ranchu reached one month of age since hatching, I stopped feeding newly hatched brine shrimp and switched them to TDO Chroma Boost B2 granules, supplementing it with Wolffia and a grounded mixture of Ranchu Lord and Hikari Purple pellets. I have also started to give them frozen brine shrimp and soon frozen bloodworms. BBR are growing very fast and need most nutritious diet to develop a good foundation.
