About
The Red Cap Oranda is one of the most iconic and recognizable goldfish varieties in the world, featuring a pure white body with a vivid red wen restricted entirely to the top of the head. This clean, high-contrast color separation is distinctively elegant and has made the Red Cap Oranda a staple of Dutch and Belgian aquarium shops for generations. Hardy and long-lived when maintained in appropriate cool-water conditions with excellent filtration.
Care Guide
Maintain excellent filtration and pristine water quality. Perform 25–30% water changes weekly. Feed quality sinking goldfish pellets and vegetables. Monitor wen health regularly; any reddening or ulceration indicates water quality issues. House only with other fancy goldfish of similar size and pace.
