Goldfish escapades and my journey of learning the art of Japanese ranchu.

SEVEN WEEKS OF AGE
At 47 days from hatch, the BBR (kurroko) are growing strong. The tail peduncle (otsutsu) and scale bracelet (otsuke) are taking a great shape. The tail shoulders (ogata) are firm and holding the tail's shape well. At this stage, still barely noticeable, cheek protrusions (funtan) are starting to show. After previous culls I am left with 61 BBR. All BBR are now on a frozen bloodworm and brine shrimp diet, supplemented with Wolffia and algae growth. Soon enough I will start adding Saki Hikari purple pellets. For identifying ranchu body parts please see "Defining What Is What"

What a beautiful photograph! Is that reddish color along the dorsal ridge pigmentation? Thanks for your entire blog. A delight to follow.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and following my blog. The reddish tone you see might be due to your monitor setting. I haven't noticed any red coloration yet. It is mostly metallic in color, but the color change should be coming soon.
