Are both of them eating the gel food equally well? Sometimes one dominates in a pair this size.
Both red caps look like they're sitting at the same size in the photos, so hopefully the feeding is even. Ask for a short feeding video before you commit if it matters to you.
Are the caps even on both fish, or is one a bit more developed than the other? Hard to tell from the photos.
Listing says both are show quality with tight raspberry caps at around twelve centimeters. I can send a close shot of each head if you want to compare them side by side.
Does the pair come with any video of them feeding? Gel food and duckweed sounds like a nice setup.
Gel food and duckweed is a solid setup. Bidding, I like that the caps look even in the photos.
Thanks Dan. Listing says both are around twelve centimeters, and I can send a close shot of each head if you want to compare before the auction ends.
Beautiful caps. Are they used to being in a tub with other fish or kept as just the pair?
not the seller but mine are tub raised too, they do fine as a pair. seller can say how they do with other fish.
Kept as just the pair in their tub, so I can't say how they handle tankmates. Tub raised with daily changes, nothing else in with them.
Nice caps. Are both fish eating gel food from the same spot in the tub, or does one hog it?
Listing says they're conditioned on gel food and duckweed, and kept as just the pair in their tub. I can't tell you more than that without watching feeding again, message me and I'll check.
Gorgeous caps. Since they're tub raised with daily changes, what temp do you hold them at? Trying to figure out if they'd settle into my cooler fish room.
Listing doesn't give a tank temp, only that they were raised in tubs with daily changes. Message me and I'll tell you what I hold them at.
Gorgeous caps. Are the pair about the same size, or is one a bit bigger than the other?
Listing says both are around twelve centimeters, so they're close. Message me if you want side by side photos.
Thanks, I'll message you about the temp. The caps really are great, hope they go to someone with a proper setup.
Listing says conditioned on gel food and duckweed, so that's what they're on. Message me and I'll tell you what else they take.
Pair is stunning. Do they take pellets as well, or only the gel food and duckweed?
Listing only says gel food and duckweed, that's what they're conditioned on. Message me and I'll tell you what else they've taken.
Understood on the feeding, tokyowave. Last question, are they used to a cooler tub or room temp? Bidding is getting serious.
Not the seller, but with gel food and duckweed conditioning I'd guess they're used to cool tubs. Tokyowave will know the exact number.
Listing doesn't give a temperature, they were raised in tubs with daily changes. Message me and I'll tell you what they're kept at.
Does the pair tolerate being shipped Monday to Wednesday only? Asking because I know tokyowave posted that on the ranchu listing, wondering if it's the same for the orandas.
Listing doesn't cover shipping days for this pair. On my ranchu I ship Monday through Wednesday so nothing sits in a depot over a weekend, message me and I'll go over it for the orandas.
tokyowave what temp are the pair kept at right now? i keep my tubs around 20C and want to make sure these won't be a shock coming from you.
Listing doesn't give a temperature, only that they were raised in tubs with daily changes and conditioned on gel food and duckweed. Message me and I'll tell you what they're kept at.
tokyowave are the pair sold as a matched pair only, or would you split them? Asking since the cap on the one looks a touch bigger in the pic.
Listing sells them as a pair, red cap oranda pair, show quality, both around twelve centimeters. Message me if you want to talk about splitting them.
tokyowave quick one before it closes, are the pair eating the gel food from the surface or do they take it sinking? Mine only take sinking so it matters for me.
Listing says they're conditioned on gel food and duckweed, that's what I can say for sure. Message me and I'll tell you how they take it day to day.
fair enough tokyowave, I'll ask by message after it closes. gorgeous pair either way.
tokyowave late bid incoming, gorgeous pair. hope the caps hold that raspberry color as they grow.
