(photos of both oranda and Red Cap Oranda) Classic beauty. Calm personality. A true goldfish favourite.
The Red Cap Oranda is one of the most recognisable and loved fancy goldfish varieties. Known for its bright white body and distinctive red “cap” (wen) on the head, this fish adds elegance and character to any coldwater aquarium or pond.
Orandas are peaceful, slow-moving fish that do best with other fancy goldfish. Their friendly nature and graceful swimming style make them a great choice for both new and experienced goldfish keepers.
