Description

The Oranda is one of the more popular Fancy Goldfish, large specimens are very impressive with their large head growth or "hood". The size of the head growth increases with age, 4-6cm fish show barely any sign of a hood whereas in some adults the large hood is even starts to cover the fish's eyes! This Coldwater goldfish can be kept either indoors or outdoors in a garden pond (but provide protection from predators if kept outdoors.)

Note: Pictures examples of stock only. Assorted colours supplied.


Features of Oranda:

  • A fleshy growth or hood around its head
  • Most Oranda goldfish are orange or yellow in colour, but there are several popular colour varieties
  • They are peaceful and hardy fish


The Best Aquarium Size for Oranda:

Depends on the size of Oranda, you could begin with a 30L aquarium for one Oranda goldfish. You’ll likely need much larger tanks if you’re planning on introducing some tank mates and maybe even more Oranda—usually, the bigger, the better.

Good experience

It was easy to order, fast delivery and great packaging. Fish adapted to our first natural pond very good and quickly. The only thing I asked for bright color for Oranda-assorted, but got light brown color or something like that, may be it will change later on. I guess assorted - means you don’t get to choose, I should have chosen specific color. But they are all our babies and we love all of them. We got deal of assorted cheaper price for 5 and they are beautiful colors. I am happy with company, I would order again.
