Jeff Thompson's Ranchu Greenhouse

Join me for a summer time tour of my greenhouse!

[@BlattFink]

Thanks for the tour! I love seeing other goldfish keeper’s setups. It helps to inspire me.

[@tb564]

Thanks so much for giving us the tour! I haven't seen a hoop house with such a wide, open feel; Looks like a fun place to just relax.

[@WW3DGen]

You're so lucky. I'd die to have this in my backyard. I want to breed goldfish for fun so bad.

Jeff, a few years ago you shipped me some TVR to Houston. I had get out of the hobby due to family, but man...you have the very BEST AAA TVR in the US.

Healthy Ranchu! Please don't forget to release them back to their pond from the tiny viewing bowl as the Sun's radiation can boil them over time! 🌷🌿🌍💗🐠

[@michellegibson3899]

They look gorgeous. I'm finding it difficult getting together a breeding colony. The ranchu we get here in Australia are horrible

[@thompsonglass]

Hello and thank you! Look up Ranchu Jeff on facebook... he has great quality ranchu in AU. If he doesn't have any available then he might now someone who does.

[@eghareborn4034]

good place to chill..no filtration?

[@aquapucci]

I was also wondering that..

[@bipanabrajopadhyaya8860]

what will be the temperature of water during winter season in your greenhouse tunnel??

[@thompsonglass]

I heat the water in the winter to keep it between 40 deg F and 50 deg F

[@lucada8538]

Where did you get a hoop house that big?

[@thompsonglass]

this one was custom built with galvanized pipe from the steel yard and a tube bending machine. each hoop is made of 4 sections of galvanized pipe that has been custom curved to make a 27 foot wide hoop. Then the hoops are spaced 3.5 feet apart to make the tunnel 70 feet long

[@safranpollen]

Hi jeff:-) I just have shown my new girl friend your ranchu and ponds :-) I told her, before I gonna die, I have to visit once in my life Jeff Thompson:-)

[@thompsonglass]

I will welcome you to central Oregon!

[@touchwood108]

Hi, do the ranchu eat the floating duck weed ?

[@thompsonglass]

yes, they like to eat it occasionally

[@sarethchantha1978]

What woukd main cause for them to get sick & die off one by one?

[@thompsonglass]

bacterial or parasite infection

[@xiyuanliu4322]

Where is this

[@thompsonglass]

Central Oregon, USA

[@lusean193]

Jeff what temperature can the water get down to in winter without killing the fish I live in Ireland and it gets down to 2 c below for a week or two in winter

[@thompsonglass]

The ranchu can survive very cold temps, even with some ice forming on the surface, but it saps their fat and energy reserve very fast and I don't recommend letting it get that cold. I aim to keep water temps between 5 and 10 deg C through the winter months. The ranchu hibernate during this time and I don't feed them until temps water up in the spring.

[@lusean193]

Jeff can you get that temperature in the greenhouse?

[@thompsonglass]

@@lusean193 I heat the ponds through the winter to keep them from icing. I live at 1200 M elevation on the 45th parallel...... we have long cold winters here: instagram.com/p/BuUdffxh-jc/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

No filter, just 100% water changes based on the traditional Japanese method

[@kingston5885]

[@thompsonglass]

@@kingston5885 no, the water changes happen every 5-7 days typically

[@kingston5885]

@@thompsonglass so nice ! Your pond is big . Mine is a mini 50g so I guess I will have to 100% water change every 2-3 days . I only have 3 ranchu inside though . Do you use aged water ?
