Also, I read that the ideal tank for top-view ranchus is a custom-made shallow tank with a side small waterfall (this is the best description I can think of) that creates a mild undercurrent to help them swim easier. A top-view ranchu is best displayed in a Japanese style white rice bowl (which is done in competitions).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

There is no waterfall, just an air stone to provide aeration.

waterfall ? feng shui ?

Hi, look at today (Sat) Classified Advertisment, there is a post of the Ozeki Ranchu show. And the post of TRP had shrunk, no more bullshit about his associate breeders or tips on keeping ranchu. It is like the cat comes out and the mouse has to hide hahaha.
