{"product_id":"lion-head-ranchu","title":"Lion head ranchu","description":"\u003cp\u003eLionhead Ranchus are a fancy goldfish variety developed through centuries of selective breeding in China and Japan, and can grow to around 15–20cm given good conditions. They are instantly recognisable for their distinctive raspberry-like head growth (the wen) and their rounded, tail-less silhouette, making them among the most characterful of all fancy goldfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lionhead Ranchus are best kept with other slow-moving fancy goldfish varieties rather than faster, single-tailed types that will outcompete them for food. They thrive in cold or slightly cool water and do not require a heater. Good filtration is essential as goldfish are heavy waste producers, and a gentle flow is preferable as their egg-shaped body makes swimming in strong currents tiring. Avoid sharp décor that could damage their delicate wen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lionhead Ranchus are omnivores.
