What a Lan Shou
Many people are vague about this concept
For example, I Mai Meng bar, at the beginning, I all know Lan Shou bare back, no dorsal fin, a tumor on the top of the big head. But I know that the red is Lan Shou, and the red and white is Lan Shou. Is the five flowers Lan Shou? Is the tail long Lan Shou? Does the red one have to be Lan Shou?

Generally speaking, pure Lan Shou is red and white or pure red, so after seeing Lan Shou, do not call it "Red and White Lan Shou", this is not right ~ There is and only red color Lan Shou and red and white color Lan Shou can be called "Lan Shou"
For other colors, it is necessary to add adjectives in front of them, such as tea orchid shou, black orchid shou.
Of course, there are many colors of Lan Shou, directly have other names, not called "XX Lan Shou" at all.
It is said that Lan Shou is also roughly divided into two categories, one is the "Uno line" Lan Shou, also known as "Kyoto tendon", the cultivator of this faction of Lan Shou is a potter named "Uno RenSong Clan", the family lives in Kyoto, this person is also powerful, play mud play tired, play Kai Lan Shou.
There is also a category called "association department", also called "Kanto vein", the association department of Lanshou is more common, we generally see the Japanese Lanshou is the association department. The relationship between the Uno department and the association department is equivalent to the relationship between "ashkenazi", "Taiwan", and "domestic production" in the eyes of the students who raise seabream. There is no absolute difference between good and bad, and it is also in the framework of Lanshou, but each freedom has its own direction of expression. Uno is like a young man in the south, the length is relatively slow, and the final body is relatively short and thick, but the head tumor is very exquisite, the development is very exquisite, and it is very delicate. The association department is like a big man in the north, with a relatively large length, a large waist, a relatively wide body, and a very grand style. The head tumor is not as good as the Uno system, but the body does develop well.
Below is the pure Uno Ranshou
It's all Uno Ranshou
General lanshou must have a relatively long development period, and after two years of age, the posture can be more perfect. (I personally feel that the ornamental effect of fish over three years old is better) The body is very short and thick, the head tumor is very delicate, and people often ask, why can't I raise Lan Shou, you look at the environment of people, you know why you can't raise Lan Shou, of course, lan shou cultivation is very exquisite, especially the lan shou when the young fish, the water flow, the size of the fish pond, have exquisite.
The following is the association department Lan Shou
The pictures of the association department Lanshou should be seen more, because the mainstream Lanshou is the association department
Lan Shou was not happy
Let's start with some pictures of one-year-old Lan Shou
Raising Lan Shou, raising goldfish must need a bare tank
No
It's also nice to plant some grass
Of course, the density of this cylinder is very small
The above cultivation method is too non-mainstream, and the normal cultivation of Lan Shou is like this~
What's the name of the long-tailed one?
The one with the long tail is not called Lan Shou
It's called "Akiki" or "Tsugaru Nishiki"
Some people who did not understand this fish looked at it and thought that it was a traditional and valuable Danfeng goldfish, and then they made great efforts to buy it, thinking that they had "contributed to the preservation of the national essence of goldfish".
Not really. Danfeng goldfish have no head tumors on their heads, and Japanese Akishiki or Tsugaru Nishiki have head tumors on their heads
Dan Feng was basically lost
Now online fish sellers, basically, the vast majority of the so-called "Dan Feng" bought, are the descendants of these Japanese goldfish, not pure, of course, if you like, you can buy, but if you buy for the sake of raising Dan Feng, then forget it, it is not worth spending this money.
There are also students to ask, where is the difference between this autumn brocade and Tsugaru nishiki, hey hey, in fact, the modern Tsugaru nishiki is restored with autumn nishiki, so the difference is not big, but Tsugaru nishiki is more hardy, Tsugaru nishiki faded later, some until two or three years old to fade from cyan to red, so Tsugaru nishiki is more elegant.
The following is the autumn brocade is so cute ~
When we look at the picture, we often see Lanshou cloaked in five flowers, and some people use the usual name of Chinese goldfish to call this fish "Wuhua Lanshou". In fact, this name is inaccurate.
In the goldfish, all the goldfish with five colors are definitely inferior to the red, red and white flowers of the same kind of goldfish in terms of body size. The tail of the five-flowered butterfly tail is definitely softer than the tail of the red and white butterfly.
So in the future, when everyone picks fish, if it is heavy, buy red, red and white, if it is heavy, don't care too much about the body type, because the rarer the color, the more imperfect the body type
Especially for a fish like Lan Shou, the ratio of five colors and reds is absolutely a big loss.
The colorful orchid is called "Edo Nishiki", which is another kind of goldfish.
Below a few pictures of Edo Nishiki, if you look at their backs and head tumors, you can feel that the gap between Edo Nishiki and Ranju is more or less concave
In the same way, is the long-tailed Edo Nishiki still called Edo Nishiki?
No, the long-tailed Edo Nishiki is called "Kyo Nishiki"
There are very few pictures of Jingjin
Generally, fish have a layer of reflective matter on the scales, but soft-scaled goldfish do not have them (only some of the scales on the five-flowered goldfish have it)
The red and white soft scales of Lan Shou are called "cherry blossom brocade", which is very beautiful, in fact, it is also derived from Edo nishiki, and removing the black color of Edo nishiki is sakura nishiki. Personally, I feel that the popularity of this fish is higher than that of Edo Nishiki.
Such as cherry blossom nishiki, Edo nishiki, the feeding of these fish is relatively casual than Lanshou, after all, the grade is not as good as Lanshou, and it is not too regular breed, so it is not easy to find a top view (Lan Shou is too ruled, all are top view, it is not easy to find Lan Shou side view)
In fact, the goldfish with soft scales and red and white flowers are named "Cherry XX" because the color of cherry blossoms is red and white, which is similar to the cherry blossom god
Below is the longfin cherry blossom, called "Sakura Kyo Nishiki", also called "Kyo Sakura" (or the name behind it!). )
There are very few such fish, and there are not many pictures
Chubby ~
Of course, there are some other colors of orchids, most of which are produced in Fujian, China, and sold all over the world
These orchids are neither traditional varieties nor stand out as names
So the general name is "color + lanshou"
This kind of goldfish does not need to distinguish whether it is Japanese life, national life, or Taishou, because except for China, other countries basically do not produce
For example, the following Mo Lan Shou, this is the first in China (black is very unstable in goldfish, so it is not easy to create Mo Lan Shou)
The head tumor is not as regular as the Japanese Lan Shou [Picture] Tea Lan Shou (Tea Lan Shou has more pompoms, this may be related to the preparation of its broodstock, hybrid goldfish is not simply two broodstock with the same traits the offspring born of the same traits are exactly the same as the broodstock, and sometimes you also need to use the color of the fish, with the size of the fish, in order to get the best
In Japan, there are also some small-scale varieties related to Lanshou
Izumo Nanjing, this name may be very unpleasant to hear, but the Japanese explanation is that "the ancestors of this fish come from Nanjing" (I don't know if there is a chef in the bar, next time get a new dish of braised koi, named "Fire Tokyo") and Ranshou, Tosakin, and Ground Gold are juxtaposed to become the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Japanese goldfish.
This fish has no head tumor, pointed head, maybe everyone does not like, but this fish is a spelling flower, red and white flowers, there is also a hint of Mt. Fuji snow feeling. 【Picture】【Picture】Red leaf lanshou, a kind of lanshou with a moving red all over the body, the scales are soft scales, which is relatively rare. This fish is also an ornamental color of [picture] [picture] Osaka Ranshou, this fish is more special, the tail is three-tailed, the head must be white, and there must be pompoms on the nose, there are fewer Osaka Ranshou that really meet the above rules, but it is really good (Osaka Ranju is sometimes called the Osaka line of Lanshou, but the real Osaka Lanshou has become extinct
Guys, the Lanshou part will first say here, Lanshou's huge head tumor and huge body give everyone a deep impression, and then the introduction of the Tosaki kim part
Tosaki's aesthetic is completely different from the beauty of Ranshou Tosaki's emphasis on the tail type, and what color is not important to them, even the cyan color below is very precious
Admire Tosaki, what to admire? Just admire his tail
The tail must be three tails, and you don't have to say that the four tails are not very qualified Tosakin, and the selection of Tosaki seedlings will not leave four-tailed seedlings at all!!! There's nothing else to look at
Personally, I feel that The aesthetic of Ranshou and the aesthetic of Tosaki are two extremes
Or the aesthetics of the four kings of Japanese goldfish are four extremes
You can take a look at the flash map I made to see which four goldfish are the four kings
Tosa's side is very ugly, basically the size of grass gold, why not improve it to the size of Ryukin?
I feel that one is because the back of Ryujin is very high, relatively short and thick, looking down to appreciate the back, short and thick, it is not in harmony with the tail. Another is that the more you pick the body type, the more difficult it is to take care of the tail type, so if this is the case, simply don't care about anything, you have to tail! At one point, Tosaki almost went extinct. Because there are very few people raising Tosaki, and it is relatively concentrated, this thing seems to be in 1945 at the end of World War II, first the bombing of American aircraft, and then the earthquake, tsunami, and the sea came up, and the fish was miserable. People even thought Tosakin was extinct. Finally, four 2-year-old Tosakin and two 3-year-old Tosaki were found in a ruin, and all of tosaki now are descendants of these six fish. (I checked this from the official website, and what circulated on some domestic websites was that a basin of water was found in the ruins, and there were only two Tosakin in it, which happened to be a male and a female.) I really don't know how these people made it up. )
Five-year-old Tosaki
The tail is slightly rusty
But it's absolutely ethereal
