Live Premium Fancy Goldfish Thai Lionchu Red 3" Body (JC-087) R1C02
Live Premium Fancy Goldfish – Thai Lionchu Red (3" Body) – JC-087
WYSIWYG – What You See Is What You Get
This premium Thai Lionchu Red (ID: JC-087) is a bold, vibrant example of the Lionchu variety—combining the deep head growth (wen) of a Lionhead with the compact, dorsal-less body of a Ranchu. With a 3-inch body (measured from nose to base of tail), this exact fish displays solid red coloration, a strong tail tuck, and well-balanced body proportions.
Sourced from expert Thai breeders and hand-selected for its quality, symmetry, and health, this Lionchu is an excellent addition to any serious fancy goldfish collection or show tank.

A: Yes. This is a WYSIWYG listing, and the fish shown with ID JC-087 is the exact one you will receive.
Q: Does the 3" size include the tail?
A: No. The measurement refers to the body only, from the nose to the base of the tail.
Q: Can Lionchu live with other fancy goldfish?

Q: What if the fish arrives dead (DOA)?
A: We offer a Live Arrival Guarantee if our shipping guidelines are followed. You must report DOA with clear photos within the specified time window to qualify for a resolution.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
"What You See is What You Get" collection?
With our "What You See is What You Get" collection, you can view the exact fish you'll be receiving. Each fish is photographed individually, so you know exactly what you're purchasing before it arrives at your door.
Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 100% live arrival guarantee. Our fish are shipped directly from our collections with care, and we stand behind their quality. If your fish arrive in poor condition, please contact us within 24 hours with a photo, and we’ll provide a replacement or refund, as per our terms and conditions.
What is the Direct from Farm collection?
The Direct from Farm collection is our preorder system where you can select fish directly from our farm in Thailand. Because we carefully source each fish, this process takes a little longer—approximately 2 weeks for the fish to arrive from Thailand and another week for quarantine before being shipped to you. This ensures that your fish are healthy and acclimated before they reach your aquarium.
How do I care for my new fish once they arrive?
When your fish arrive, it’s important to acclimate them gradually to your tank’s water temperature. Ensure your aquarium is fully cycled and that water parameters (temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels) are stable. If you need any tips on setting up your tank or caring for your fish, feel free to reach out!
