The short fall of this fish is the back curve plateur off and slight clipping on the tail, but overall is a very nice fish. Good deportment, balance and active swimmer, and the colour is a big rarity. This boils down to overall beauty or minute details.
PS: Want to make this a more educational thread. Hope the organizer or owner don't mind when we comment about the fish of a past event.

Some blackie discussion. Those blackie players should realize the blackies there are two main type of head strain, the normal cauliflower and the boxer head. The latter also have a slightly more elongated body shape. Now the boxer head is kind of rare here. I once saw the boxer head in QH many years back, but now in market hardly find any. So anyone see a boxer head here let me know. Which is more to your liking?
Normal

Personally prefer the first type, perhaps it's closer to what we see more often.
The boxer head... reminds me of a blank faced ghost... You know the kind in cheap chinese movies, has everything except for eyes, nose and mouth, basking in green lighting?
LLC, I don't know if the above 2 fish were placed in the show, but based on headgrowth alone, how did they score as compared to the other? Genuine question.

Good question. One may think is not apple to apple. Sometime we got to acknowledge the different type and grade them according to balance, eveness....

so in the case of the two fish above, both have very good headgrowth, how did the judges rate their headgrowth with regards to the other?
Just an academic exercise using the two photos above.

IMO both are good headgrowth, which one is better not appropriate to comment.

Link to fish-hub on event reporting. Save a bit of effort in posting.

One thing I can see though situation is chaotic there, the fish event is very well supported by the gov body and fishery.

Love the blackie!! And I read that vets would operate on the wen to allow the fish to be able to see.
I actually checked around and was told these fishes isn't blind. They have small window hole for the fish to see. Believe?
I really don't know, Mr LLC.

Wow... both blackies have very well-developed heads!! Very nice..
Personal preference is the one above, the "Normal" because there is more texture which I prefer...but i must say again that both have very well- developed wen. If anyone ever makes me a present of a little blackie ranchu, regardless of which one it is, I will NEVER say "No!"
*LOL*

Why you always looking for free gift?
If the giver is a happy and willing giver, I'm a happy and willing receiver.
