Ranchu goldfish are strange but cute looking fish that appeal to a large number of aquarists. Because of their unique appearance and the entertaining behavior they exhibit, they will continue to be one of the most popular goldfish varieties for quite some time
The Ranchu goldfish is considered the “king of all goldfish” by many. When you see one, it’s not hard to see why. This species is unique, beautiful, and undoubtedly regal
This fish belongs to a group known as “fancy goldfish.” Fancy goldfish are specifically bred to have distinct, attractive traits. You won’t find any in the wild
The unique thing about the Ranchu goldfish is that it didn’t originate in China like most Fancies. The earliest record of the Ranchu is from the 1600s in Japan
The Ranchu goldfish has a bulbous, egg-like body. On the top of the body, you’ll notice a distinct curve
The tailfin is unique, too. The base of the tail tucks inward, giving the fish a distinct “hunchback” posture
It’s similar to the wen you see on lionhead goldfish and other species. However, the helmet covers more of the fish, acting like a hat over the top of the head, gills, and cheek. This growth has a similar texture to a raspberry
