Red Oranda Goldfish

Fancy oranda goldfish with their distinctive broad heads are a must for the goldfish enthusiast. Aquariumfishsale.com will do our best to accommodate special color requests.

The word “Oranda” is Dutch for Lionhead, but unlike the Lionhead goldfish the Oranda has a prominent dorsal fin. Like the lionhead goldfish, oranda goldfish were selective bred to create the bubbly head the Chinese call the “wen” and we call the “crown”.

Oranda goldfish come in several color patterns, the red oranda is a solid red body with the solid red crown.
