Red & White Ranchu Goldfish
Red & White Ranchu Goldfish are prized for their rounded, egg-shaped bodies, deep red and white coloration, and prominent head growth ("wen"). Unlike other goldfish, Ranchus lack a dorsal fin, giving them a graceful, gliding swim style. They are peaceful, slow swimmers best kept with other fancy goldfish in stable, well-filtered aquariums.
