About
The Blue Oranda is a striking fancy goldfish with a prominent wen hood and elegant flowing fins, its metallic-blue scale type shimmering beautifully under aquarium lighting. A sought-after variety among goldfish enthusiasts in Belgium and the Netherlands, the blue coloration is produced by a specific scale-type interaction that creates a unique iridescent effect distinct from other oranda colors.
Care Guide
Maintain clean, well-oxygenated water with stable temperatures. Use a powerful filter to manage goldfish waste loads. Feed sinking pellets and varied foods. Monitor the wen for signs of infection in poor water quality conditions. Perform regular partial water changes.
