i am too looking for nice quality ranchu. i can find them in local fish store but the quality just isnt there for me. i currently have 2 show quality ones at 100 a piece. and looking for more.
Our Petsmart has some lovely fish. They also have a very knowledgeable staff of older people who are fish enthusiasts. I've gotten nice orandas, moors, and ryukins there. All still alive and healthy after months here.
I guess we are lucky. Petco, however, is yet another story.
If you are still looking , If you will keep an eye out it is the time of year for Koi and Goldfish show.Like memorial day weekend the greater Louisville Koi and Goldfish show will be going. They always have a great selection of fish to be bought.You can also check with midwest pond and koi society. Hope this helps .I will be getting some shipped to me in the next few days along with orandas and ryukin . My friends in Wi are sending them and I can not wait to see them.
