Very nice! Are they males or females?

Beautiful fish... How big are they?

The white ranchu is a male about 5.5 inches. R/W is a female about 4 inches. Have some fry from the 2 of them that just went horizontal yesterday. See if I can maybe raise a few.

Congraz on your fry. Most fish i sold are already eggs, NOT MINE!! :youtellme:
Still working on it.....

Seems like just about every week and half or so after a big water change they go at it. Think I need to seperate. Female looks alright. But male has really been tearing up his wen. He has actually tore a piece loose. Rubbing I guess ? :youtellme:

You can see it a little in these pictures. On the right cheek. Can also see a few eggs on the bottom of aquarium. Need to take a better picture of wen.

Isn't it usually the other way around? This male is doing some serious chasing. Have you finally separated them?

[goldfishforlife]

You would think. Surprised me also. White one is definately male. Been doing all the chasing and have witnessed R/W releasing eggs. Guessing it may just be a matter of the light colored wen showing more that colored wen ? You will see a couple what look like sore(or rub) red spots on white wen. Heal(gone) within 1-2 days. Can barely see red spots from other day.
