Description

Introduction: Welcome to the world of Oranda Red Cap goldfish, a captivating variety known for its charming red head growth, or “wen.” Dive into the beauty of this fancy goldfish as it adds elegance and color to your aquatic sanctuary.

Scientific Name: The Oranda Red Cap goldfish belongs to the Carassius auratus species.

Water Quality:

  • Temperature: Maintain a cool and temperate environment with temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).
  • pH Level: Keep the water slightly acidic to neutral, with a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, to support their well-being.
  • GH Level: Aim for a General Hardness (GH) of 8 to 12 dGH for their optimal health.
  • KH Level: Ensure a Carbonate Hardness (KH) level of 4 to 8 dKH to maintain water stability.

Feeding: Oranda Red Cap goldfish are omnivorous and have a hearty appetite. Offer them a balanced diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms.

Tank Mates:

  • Peaceful Community Fish: Oranda Red Cap goldfish are gentle and can coexist harmoniously with other non-aggressive community fish like fancy goldfish and peaceful tropical species.
  • Avoid Nippy Fish: Refrain from housing them with fin-nipping or aggressive species to prevent stress and injury.

Substrates and Tank Decorations: Provide a soft substrate like sand to protect their delicate barbels and promote natural behavior. Decorate the tank with smooth rocks, driftwood, and artificial or live plants to offer hiding spots and create an aesthetically pleasing environment.

Suitable Plants: Choose hardy and non-eating plants like Java Ferns and Anubias to enhance the visual appeal while considering Oranda Red Cap goldfish’s herbivorous tendencies.

Sexing: Sexing adult Oranda Red Cap goldfish can be challenging and may require observation of their behavior and subtle physical differences.

Breeding: Breeding Oranda Red Cap goldfish in a home aquarium can be attempted, but it may require specific conditions and careful management.

Maximum Size and Longevity: Oranda Red Cap goldfish can grow up to a size of about 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm). With proper care, they can live up to 10 to 15 years, becoming long-standing companions in your underwater world.

General Information: The unique and endearing “wen” or head growth of the Oranda Red Cap goldfish is one of its most cherished and distinctive features, making it a favorite among goldfish enthusiasts.
