Thick-bodied and regal, the Red & White Oranda is a true aquarium favorite. Hand-selected for unique coloration and overall superior health, these exotic goldfish are tended to by the PetSolutions husbandry staff following their importation. Hardy and long-lived, they can survive cooler temperatures. Extended periods below 60º F or above 80º F may not be tolerated well. Because they need some vegetable matter, they may cause damage to finer-leaved plants, but typically do no damage to thicker, hardy bog plants. While flake food will suffice for these fish, many aquatic professionals recommend a good-quality pellet food of no more than 30% protein to help keep these premium specimens in ideal health.

Approximate arrival size for Red & White Oranda: Small: 1 to 2 inches; Medium:2.5 to 4 inches
