Assorted Oranda Goldfish (Lot of 4)
The most common colors of oranda goldfish are bright orange, and orange and white. A school of oranda goldfish is striking in the pond or the aquarium with their round bodies and distinctive crowns of different colors. As more colors become available this season, we will add to the description of the assorted group.
The Oranda name comes from the Dutch phrase Lionhead because the English aquatic trade thought the origin of this variety was Holland. Nope, all the selective breeding took place in China. Lionhead goldfish also share the bubble formation at the head, called a crown or wen, but have been further bred to remove the dorsal fin so that the round body and bubble formation are more accented.
Note: Our stock of Orandas is young and does not have the developed wens.

Received the oranda goldfish in good condition. The colors are vibrant and the fish are active in the tank. They look very attractive together. The only thing to note is they are still young, so the crowns aren’t fully formed yet. Still, a great addition to any freshwater setup.

The fish arrived quickly and are healthy. I like the mix of colors. They swim nicely and seem to get along well. A bit on the small side, but they’re lively and active. The crown development will improve over time.

Great selection of colors. The orange and white ones stand out the most. They’re easy to care for and make a nice visual impact in the aquarium. I’m happy with the purchase and the quality of the fish.
