🐟 Calico Oranda Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
A Vibrant Calico Patchwork of Colours • A Plush, Raised "Wen" Hood • A Colourful Queen of Fancy Goldfish
📋 The Calico Oranda Goldfish carries a vibrant calico patchwork of orange, red, white, blue and black, speckled with dark spots, crowned with a plush, raised "wen", a soft, bubbly hood that grows over the head, and a long, flowing double tail. This colourful form of the queen of goldfish is full of personality, and every calico is unique.
It's a captive-bred fancy goldfish, developed in China and Japan. Every Calico Oranda Goldfish we ship is feeding well.
This is a friendly, peaceful fish that glides gracefully around the tank, its wen growing fuller and more impressive as it matures, and it quickly learns to come to the front at feeding time. It thrives in a spacious aquarium with other fancy goldfish and grows up to 20cm, so a 100L tank suits it well.
