Rocky weighs 2lbs 10ozs more than a bag of sugar. Size is about 4 inches very active and healthy. The chinese named the breed the flower of the water because of their graceful swimming habits and their physical appearance.
They are known for their head which is referred to as the wen the wen starts developing within a few months but doesn t really develop fully until the oranda is about 2 2 5 years old. The oranda goldfish was originally bred in china as most goldfish breeds were although some breeds were further developed in japan. This is a premium pet fish and we never see premium goldfish like these in any of the live fish stores that we visit.
A traditional oranda wen should be restricted to the top of the head. Its wen can extend down off the top of the head but should not be as extensive as a lionhead goldfish which covers the cheeks and gill plates. If you want to achieve the best potential from your fancy goldfish generally a 20 25 weekly water change will help the fish flourish.
