Beautiful

Where do you market your fish? Yes, that means I am interested, lol.

Word of mouth. If I can get the spawns to survive ill keep a few and sell off trios of the adults keepinG one for myself. The adults have a lot of recovering todo after their long trip to the us.

This link will pull all of the black ranchu development series posts for future reference.

In the first smaller image you can already see the 45 degree tail tuck characteristic of the Ranch.

The other images shows the melanocytes migrating from the neural crest. These cells are produced early in development. This is why once a fish decolors it won't get it's black back (unless it's ammonia burned).
