Hint, hint, Brian

From the perspective of a Westerner, there is a notable difference between keeping koi and top-view ranchu. We have access to a fair amount of koi information. There are a few magazines, some good books, DVDs, more web sites than you could ever visit and more forums than even the hard core can keep up with.

But, to my knowledge, there is not a single english language TVR magazine, they are not even mentioned in the English language goldfish books or the Goldfish Report and there is only one English language TVR forum. It is based in Singapore and I have read every word of the archives at least once.

There is a mother load of TVR books, TVR magazines, web sites and forums out there, but almost all of it is in Japanese. The Thai and Chinese also seem to have some information available to them. Google translator will give you a small taste, but you never know if your understanding is valid or imaginary.

It would be fun to have a ranchu forum here at Koi-Bito.
