Description:
The Oranda Goldfish is one of the most beloved varieties of fancy goldfish, known for its distinctive head growth (wen) and flowing, graceful fins. These goldfish are available in a wide range of vibrant colors, including red, orange, white, and calico, making them a beautiful addition to any aquarium or pond.
At 2.5 inches in size, our assorted medium-sized Orandas are well-established and ready to thrive in their new homes. These hardy fish are perfect for both beginner and experienced aquarists, adapting well to a variety of water conditions.
Care:
Orandas are best kept in spacious tanks with plenty of swimming room. A 20-gallon tank is recommended for one goldfish, with an additional 10 gallons for each additional fish. These goldfish produce a fair amount of waste, so efficient filtration and regular water changes are essential for maintaining water quality.
While peaceful, Orandas can be slow swimmers due to their rounded body and flowing fins. This makes them best suited for tanks with similarly slow and peaceful tankmates. Avoid housing them with faster or more aggressive species.
Diet:
Oranda Goldfish are omnivores and will thrive on a varied diet. High-quality goldfish pellets or flakes should form the staple of their diet, supplemented with occasional treats like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and fresh vegetables such as peas or lettuce.
Highlights:
- Stunning, flowing fins and signature head growth
- Comes in a variety of beautiful colors
- Peaceful and ideal for community tanks or ponds
