How much is the Panda Ranchu that u saw????
I just went to QH on Tues didnt find any ley. Its located at which area? Stone tank or the blue fiber tank?

If you were to do a search on "Goldfish", I am sure u can find alot of good tips in keeping goldfish

Here's some tips for you hope it can help:-
1) 1 GF per 10 Gal. If u intend to get 3-5, 3ft will be just nice.

2) GF thrives in higher PH, from 7 - 8.4Ph shld be fine. A stable Ph is more important rather than keeping it alkaine. Mine at 5.5 still survive heehee. Try using more coral shell will be fine.

3) Set your temp to 28 - 29deg cel as most of the bad bacterial cant survive at that temp. If fish is sick, rise it to 30.

4) Any filter will be fine as long as it can turnover your water at 5 - 10 times per hour. I recommend overhead at least you dun have to worry about electrical shorting with those cheap powerhead.

5) Buy quality sinking food. I recommend Hikari sinking pellet for Lionhead. Always soak the pellet for at least a min before feeding.
Everyweek try to feed them peas to prevent "floating symptoms"

Thats all I can think of at the moment cya!
