Freshwater Fish
Oranda Goldfish.
A young oranda in white and orange with dark accents — a fancy goldfish whose raspberry-like 'wen' hood develops with age, swimming with slow grace. Peaceful but big-bodied and messy; keep the water clean and cool in a roomy 30-gallon-plus tank. A serene, ornamental centerpiece.
Live fish are priced per supplier batch — prices may vary. Call to confirm current pricing.

Good tank mates
Orandas are peaceful and community-safe, but the catch is they're slow, fancy goldfish, so they do best with other slow, fancy goldfish that share their cool-water needs and won't outcompete them at feeding time, like ranchus, ryukins, and other orandas. Avoid fast single-tail goldfish like commons and comets that will outswim and outeat them, avoid tropical community fish that need warmer water, and skip anything nippy that would pick at the flowing fins or the head growth. If you're unsure whether a fish suits a fancy goldfish tank, call us.
Good to know
The oranda's distinctive raspberry-like head growth, called a wen, develops gradually as the fish matures.
