My Digital Escapades
Sobbing's Personal Thoughts and Recollections
WARNING: IMAGE INTENSIVE :rofl:
Haaay journal people~

As I might have mentioned, just before my mother left to go to Wales for Christmas on the 13th, I realized that she was taking my camera with her!

So, I decided to take some quick snaps of my two main aquariums before she made off with my camera to a different country lol~ Please excuse my amature photography and don't laugh at the names of my fish! &w&

I'll start off with my 29 gallon (or 109.7 litre) aquarium, which currently houses my three fancy goldfish.

There are three golfish occupying this tank:

Name: Udon
Type: Blackmoore
Age: 1+ years
Sex: Believed to be male

Name: Konohamaru
Type: Calico Veil Tail (we think~)
Age: 1+ years
Sex: Believed to be female

Name: Luffy
Type: Orange Ranchu (or Lionhead, we are unsure at the moment)
Age: 1+ years
Sex: Believed to be male

Mr. Hey-There and I recently aquired this tank in November as an early birthday present for her. We used to have three ghost shrimp living in the tank with the goldfish, but they were gobbled up. (I'm not surprised lol.) We believe the culprit of at least two of the casualties to be Konohamaru. I doubt Udon ate any of them, because he has terrible eye-sight. The shrimp were molting at the time. It's my fault for not providing them with enough shelter. (Whoops~ ^^; ) The only one they had was a cave-like tunnel Mr. Hey-There made under one of the larger rocks.

It's okay though, because Konohamaru grew significantly thereafter. rofl

Here are some pictures of my 55 gallon (or 208 litres) aquarium. It is currently housing two generations (the children and grandchildren of my first female guppy, who died, and possibly the children of the first male guppy, but I have no idea if he fathered anyone yet) of guppies, and one guppy from a different "family", if you will.

I have around 30+ adults and 20~25 fry that survived from various births. There are only five guppies that are actually named, since they are so difficult to keep track of. An adult male with an orange and yellow blazed tail named Yondaime, the original male named Grumpy Fins ( rofl ), a young guppy, possibly female, (just out of fry-dom) named Itachi, one named Sasuke (black with a gorgeous, smooth silver face)and a pretty female who seems to constantly be knocked up named Lisa Frank (because her tail has a lot of the typical colours found in Lisa Frank art <3). I'm hoping to name them all eventually.

All of the adults are somewhere around 6 to 7 months old I believe.

I went ahead and looked up a little bit about the differences, and settled for the first website I found, which gave me the following information:

# Lionheads have much more headgrowth than ranchu. Some ranchu, like the Edonishiki, have very little headgrowth at all. Lionheads, on the other hand, may have their vision obscured and breathing impaired by the degree of headgrowth.
# Ranchu have a tremendous emphasis on the smooth but dramatic curvature of the back. Lionhead backs tend to be flat or shallowly curved and may be quite bumpy (though this seems to be being bred away from).
# The ranchu caudal fin is supposed to form a 45 degree angle with the back. Lionhead caudal fins form nowhere near as dramatic an angle, are usually held lower, and can be quite a bit larger that the ranchu tails.
# Andy Filu, in an old Goldfish Report article, mentions the difference in body shape. He says that the ranchu was bred to resemble a Japanese coin. I interpret this to mean that the ranchu have a very round side profile, while the lionheads are "boxier".
# I would also guess that the tremendous emphasis on the length and width of the ranchu peduncles is not shared by the lionhead breeders. Along with the floppier tails, the lionhead peduncles seem to be longer and thinner than those of the ranchu.

So far he seems to be fitting the description of a Lionhead. We probably wont be able to be sure until he grows some more though.
