Carassius auratus
Also known as: Red-White Oranda, Bi-color Oranda, Fancy Goldfish
Origin: China/Japan
The Red-White Oranda combines the classic oranda body shape with a vibrant two-tone color pattern, making it a centerpiece fish. The wen continues to develop with age, especially with a high-quality diet. Clean, well-oxygenated water is essential to prevent bacterial infections in the wen tissue.

Feeding: sinking pellets, leafy greens, bloodworm, daphnia — feed small portions twice daily. Behaviour: slow-moving, peaceful; enjoy exploring the tank bottom for food. Compatibility: other fancy goldfish varieties; avoid aggressive or fast-swimming species.
