It will be difficult for me to know when my competitors in Thailand, acquire their fish, since the competition ranchu trading in Thailand is quite a secret (the same as in Japan too). Even when the fish enters and wins a competition, you may not know who the real owners of the fish are. Usually in Thailand only for the big trophies, such as the King's Cup are where you will see all the real owners of the Champions. This is just an opinion from my experience in the Thai ranchu circle.

I think that since this is a Japanese styled ranchu competition, we should do exactly what they do in Japan, or as dictated by the distinquished judges. With all due respect.
