Update on my Kashino Piece
 

As per subject, pic of my Kashino Piece purchased from Absolute Ranchu. Pics were taken an hour after ranchu was fed. :p :D

Nice fish, especially like the thick backbone but the left side or the tail looks slightly damaged.

The tail is slightly kinked but angle of shot make it look worse than it really is.. It was like that on first day. Below is a pic of it before delivered to Singapore. If you can tell which piece is mine, look at the tail and you will know what I mean by "slight kink".

Please continue the excercise that I have shown you. The kink should be disappearing in due course. You have a really nice fish there, and you have done an amazing job grooming thus far. We are all very impressed and we were talking about your fish during our luncheon today in Bangkok. A great start, keep up the good work. A very good role model for all you newbies out there. :D

You flattered me. I will continue to use the massage on the tail on this piece. Also per your and Mr. Lek's advice, I have also modified my feeding regime and water management style, I can see that it is beneficial to my ranchus. Thanks for the advice. ;) :D

You 've very nice healthy looking-soma ranchu. Is tis hand-carried back batch?

Yep. My piece was also showcased in the TVR Workshop previousy. ;) :D

It's a pleasure to hear that you have gotten something useful out of our session together. Please share your insight to the other hobbyists in your circle. I think that every one would gain a great deal by studying your symtem that you have come up with. I think that many people probably have similar space and equipments that you have and would be able to relate more to your set up. One last word of advice to you on this point, PY, once you get it up, keep it up. :p All you have to do now is maintain your performance and you are on your way.

Sawasdee krap. ;)
