Red Oranda Goldfish (Carassius auratus)

The Red Oranda Goldfish is a striking variety of goldfish, known for its bright reddish-orange body and distinctive head “hood.” Hardy and community-friendly, Orandas are a favorite among hobbyists and beginners alike.

They can grow quite large, so while they may start in aquariums, adults are best suited for spacious tanks or ponds. Orandas are omnivores and enthusiastic eaters, but a diet with plenty of vegetable-based foods helps prevent swim bladder issues.

👉 Care Difficulty: Easy – Beginner-friendly, but requires a large aquarium or pond as it grows.
