To properly care for Ranchu goldfish,maintain optimal water quality with regular checks and changes. Ensure a filtration system is in place and keep water temperature between 65-72F (18-22C). Additionally, feed a well-balanced diet consisting of pellets, vegetables, and occasional treats like live foods.
