I bought this Oranda for my first aquarium and it’s been a joy to watch. The colors are vibrant and the fish is very calm. It took a few weeks to see the wen develop, but I’m excited to see it grow. Easy to keep and loves the plants in the tank.

The fish arrived healthy and active. The red and black coloring is striking. I noticed the cap is still small, but it’s growing. I’m patient and happy with how it’s doing in my 20-gallon tank.

Perfect for a beginner. The fish is peaceful and doesn’t stress other tank mates. I’ve had it for six months and it’s still active and colorful. The only thing to note is the wen isn’t visible yet, but I expect it to develop over time.
