Red and White Oranda Goldfish

Red and White Oranda Goldfish

The red and white oranda and features variation of a red and white body, usually about half red and half white with a red cap.

The word "Oranda" is Dutch for Lionhead, but unlike the Lionhead goldfish the Oranda has a prominent dorsal fin. Like the lionhead goldfish, oranda goldfish were selective bred to create the bubbly head the Chinese call the "wen" and we usually call the "crown" or "cap". The wen of the calico oranda is usually red.

Note: Our stock of Orandas are young and do not have the developed wen seen in the images. The wen develops when they mature.
