Assorted Oranda Goldfish

Assorted Oranda Goldfish - Signature Raspberry-Like Wen, Mixed Colours

The Assorted Oranda Goldfish displays the signature raspberry-like wen growth across the head that defines the Oranda variety, sold in a mixed colour run so each fish brings its own individual pattern and head growth.

This wen continues to fill out as the fish grows, giving mature Orandas an increasingly bold, textured head shape that sits above a rounded fancy goldfish body. Being a slow swimmer, it does best in the calm company of other similarly gentle fancy varieties.

At N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.

Species Snapshot

• Adult Size: 15–20 cm
• Tank Size: 150 L minimum
• Temperament: Peaceful, slow swimmer — best kept with other similarly slow fancy goldfish
• Temperature: 18–24°C
• pH: 7.0–8.0
• Difficulty: Moderate (the wen/head growth can trap debris, so water quality needs close attention)

Ideal Habitat and Care

Provide a 150 L or larger tank with calm water movement and smooth decor to protect this Oranda's developing wen growth.

• Temperature: 18–24°C
• pH: 7.0–8.0
• Water Flow: Gentle — this slow, rounder-bodied swimmer prefers calm water
• Maintenance: Strong filtration with frequent partial water changes, as the wen growth can trap debris and affect water quality

Diet

An easy-feeding omnivore, the Oranda benefits from smaller portions given several times a day.

• Goldfish flake or pellet sized for a smaller mouth
• Blanched vegetables such as peas or zucchini
• Occasional frozen bloodworm or brine shrimp
• Smaller, more frequent feeds to help avoid swim bladder issues

Compatibility

As one of the slowest-swimming fancy goldfish varieties, wen-headed goldfish do best kept exclusively with other similarly slow, rounder-bodied fancy goldfish.

Suitable tankmates include:

• Other Oranda or Ranchu goldfish
• Other slow-swimming fancy goldfish varieties
• Peaceful, cold-tolerant snails
• Avoid fast single-tail comets, which will out-compete them for food

Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
