Fuzhou
is a beautiful and mountainous landscape
endowed with good river waters and natural
springs. Fuzhou goldfish farmers produces almost 80% of the
Chinese ranchu for domestic and international
markets. The biggest ranchu farm houses more
than 1500 ponds and specialize only in ranchu.
Ranchu farms in Fuzhou are usually concrete ponds and
much smaller than the mud ponds in Guangzhou.
Due to its warm
climate almost throughout the year, Fuzhou is
ideal to groom big goldfish. Smaller mud ponds
than those found in Guangzhou are also used to
groom high quality ryukins and orandas.
Concrete ponds are also good for pearlscales and dragon eye butterflies.
