These kirin ranchu from are going to be part of a telescope ranchu project. A few years ago I crossed a ranchu with a celestial eye pom pom with the goal of trying to inbreed the F1 for a start on telechus. But the spawn was small and turned out to be all males. The F2s would have resulted in fish with small wens and Pom poms. By outcrossing the F1s to these kirin ranchu, the end game fish will be better (better ranchu form, wen and less Pom Pom), but it’s going to take another generation at least to pull off the telescope eyes
