About This Species
Highly prized in Japan, the Ranchu is known as the 'King of Goldfish.' It has a distinctively arched back, no dorsal fin, and a prominent head growth. Their unique body shape makes them clumsy swimmers, requiring specialized care in a bare-bottom tank with gentle filtration to prevent injury.
