What do you think??

[Ajno]

Nice, I think I like the 3rd pic the most. Where are you getting all this room???????? Are you doing GW with these guys?

[small_ranchu]

I am planning to put them in gw. Currently they are in 29g tank with daily water change 50%.

[Sabine]

Gorgeous ranchus! I envy you guys for being able to get fish like these.

[Jed]

They are amazing, Fred. They look so happy and healthy. I was also looking for your GW setup.

[Cincy Ranchu]

The back curve and tail pitch are extremely nice. Any chance we could get some pics of the peduncle and tail seat from above?

It took 10+ hours for me to choose these three. I still need to learn a lot.:youtellme:

Thanks Ben.

Fred,

Do u have any ranchu that you need to give away? :-*

I know the ones u want to give away have much better quality than the ones in the LFS.

It's so hard to find a decent ranchu in a LFS.

[small_ranchu]

I will let you know. :)

[32Bit_Fish]

I will let you know. :)


Fred,

How many GF do u have now? Are you running and GW at this moment?

[small_ranchu]

I have 8 ranchus. My GW system collapse and I am brewing it from ground :( .

How could you collapse a GW system? Did you forget to leave the light on? or lack source of ammonia?

[small_ranchu]

I didn't do something special except temperature changes. It happend to me last year in the beginning of winter as well.

[32Bit_Fish]

Fred,

Would u think I can use one of these high output light bulb in home depot to brew my GW?

I always wanted to try, but expensive electricity bill has holding me back of trying.

All I need is a strong, air stone and pure ammonia.

correct?

[small_ranchu]

Which light are you referring to? I am not sure.

Electricity bill? I guess it's only 10 dollars diff

you are right, strong light, air stone and pure ammonia to start green water.

Something like this - Philips MasterLine® 130 Volt 75 Watt PAR30L Halogen Flood Bulb

http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100040303

I used to have something like this, but it was for reptile to generate heat. I guess I can use this as well?

As long as the light is strong, it will generate gw, correct?

Also when u say $10 differ/ monthly? and with the this extra light on at least 8 hrs a day, 7 days a week?

[small_ranchu]

Instead of Halogen, Iwould consider metal halide. MH produces less heat but getting same effect.

Yes, my light are on for 9 hrs a day for 7 days a week.

I've been searching for a MH on the net and they are all so expensive. :sigh:

[ak47_chicago]

woowhooo.. Talk about beautiful. Look at your 3 beautiful. Fred. Is the first Red Ranchu that shinning in person too???

[32Bit_Fish]

Fred,

How big is that tank in the video? It looks abit of crowed in there with only 3 fish. Maybe the fish are big?

[small_ranchu]

Yes, It's a bit over crowded 29 g. But I am doing 70% water change everyday. :)
