About
The Black Oranda is a striking fancy goldfish variety featuring a fully developed raspberry-like wen (hood) and graceful veil-like tail fins, all in a deep jet-black coloration. Maintaining this dramatic black color requires excellent water quality and appropriate cool-water conditions. A showpiece addition to any fancy goldfish aquarium or indoor goldfish pond.
Care Guide
Provide a large aquarium or indoor pond with excellent filtration and regular water changes. Avoid high temperatures that fade black coloration. Feed quality sinking goldfish pellets, fresh vegetables, and gel foods. Avoid housing with faster-moving fish that may outcompete orandas for food.
