      Question Ranchu max size

      how big do they get? I heard that the largest one was like 18 inches long but i don't believe that. What is the average max size? I am guessing 8-10 inches

      Biggest I have ever seen (breeders) was 7"-8". They don't get as big as shubunkins (I breed those - my largest is approaching 11" - 4-year-old breeder.)

      I've seen some Oranda's and Ryukins that were close to the size of a softball, so I would guess that it's possible one could get that large although the biggest I've ever seen is more the size of a regular baseball.

      18"? That thing would be bigger'n a basketball....I don't think that they'd hit double digits....

      The last one we had that passed in the pond was softball sized bodied, but dont think it was more than ~9" tip to tip.

      You order 12 or 24?

      Looks like they are reporting standards length and not total length and or they have really small hands!

      Standard Length... That is Gunn's Hand and it is a big hand. I ordered 100 I am looking at them to get a new supply chain setup. I hope to have some in the US before Thanksgiving
