Can some one advise what's the difference between a Ranchu and a Lionhead?

[Regional]

The ranchu is similar to the lionhead but has a much more curved posterior dorsal contour, making an acute angle of join (less than 90 degrees) with the upper lobe of the tail fin at the caudal peduncle, whereas in the lionhead the dorsal contour is flatter and the angle of join is obtuse (more than 90 degrees); also, the ranchu tail is splayed sideways with the lower lobes sometimes lying almost horizontal, whereas the lionhead tail is like that of the fantail. Calico ranchus seem to be favoured over self-coloured fish, whereas more metallic (particularly red) lionheads are seen than calico. The ranchu was developed in China and imported and further developed in Japan.

Ranchu are also known in the Far East as buffalo-heads. Calico ranchu are known as edonishiki in Japan.

Examples of ranchus

[Regional]

A fat-bellied Egg-fish with a warty head-growth is know as Lionhead. The Lionhead should be distinguished from the Oranda which has warty head-growth and dorsal fins. People love the appearance of the Lion-head - a large head and a fat belly, with short tail but without a dorsal fin.

It is difficult for the fish to balance itself. It swims and eats slowly and gracefully. Some Lionhead have their heads pointing downwards when they are not moving. When swimming, the often turn somersaults, thus making them very funny. Occasionally, they may develop telescope eyes, making it very strange funny creature.
