Oranda Goldfish | Oranda Goldfish Care & Guide

[@josephmellourenzresponso4585]

I've bought 2 Orandas and by the way I'm 12 years old and I'm a beginner...and I bought them 2 days later and their aquarium is 40 gallons..and it has oxygen pump and a filter and there very happy and I fed them fish flakes

[@GenRN]

Thank you for saying that fancy goldfish are for experienced fish keepers. They are not beginner fish. I have 12 of them in a 270 gallon tank. I have been keeping fish for 7 years and still learn something new daily with my 6 tanks. My Goldfish take the most care.

[@Dan-wl3dp]

1 video with many lessons! That's what a care and guide video really is! I know what will I do if ever I take care one, but still amaze on how you educated everyone ❤❤

Thanks for the tips, I’m getting one for Christmas and I’m so excited!

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

Awesome!! Do you have a name for your goldfish yet?😁

[@groeswassertier9635]

Same!

[@BesidePeacefulWaters]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@sofea4]

hi, I have 2 Orandas and it is my first time. I just smiled when you said it is not for the beginners 🤭 thank you so much for the tips. I am worried because I only own a 12g tank.

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

How old are they?

[@kyle_boo1394]

I also have 2 oranda’s as a beginner I bought some angel fish and the other fish that i forgot the name of lol...but yeah, they are living healthily and happily

[@MMellette]

Hi! Just an FYI, the first fish needs a 20 gallon tank, and then an extra 10 gallons for every other you add. So two Orandas need no less than 30 gallons to thrive!

[@TheDowntown02]

HI. Always best to provide goldfish with LOTS of space. Like the other poster said, 20 gallons per fish. They have a large bioload (waste production). ⭐

[@FourthKindd]

Have you gotten a new tank yet?

[@KomodoDrano]

This is very very nice. Like when I mean nice I mean NICE

[@kawori3827]

After keeping a parrot fish for almost 3 years i now officially will take care of some fancy goldfish

I have 2 happy red cap orandas in a 40 gallon breeder, the larger one is about 3 years old at around 5 inches long.

That’s Awesome! 😁 what color is your Oranda goldfish? Keep us posted on the progress.

[@cheekycheekybambam]

My mum bought me an oranda during quarantine. And I've never kept a fish before. I'm thankful that it's still alive! 4 months relationship with a cutie oranda named Bobba.

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

That's awesome!

[@thesteamykatsubowl1fan122]

is it still alive?

[@alainabuske9567]

What kinds of substrate would you recommend?? I have some smooth rocks, but can't help but feel like they get bored. Thank you so much for making this video!!

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

I have tried different options and to be honest it has always been more of an aesthetic thing. I've had goldfish in bare bottom tanks and they lived long happy lives. I've also used gravel but I when I have in the past I used round gravel instead of gravel with sharp edges. Smooth rocks are good. I don't think they will get bored. What type of goldfish do you have now?

[@awkwardcarpov7698]

yes! i have 2 oranda red cap!

[@flamingbridges1649]

I bought a little oranda yesterday to live with my redcap. He's a little cutie.

[@abrahamcalderonsr.1011]

i recommend mollys for new fish keepers

How do i know what type or oranda do i have ? My fish store just said oranda gold fish and didn’t specify the sub branch … i bought 4 of them and non off them have the beautiful cap you have shown here in the video

[@user-fi5sn8oo9f]

Both my oranda rep cap goldfish are turning white in the head. The red head is now pale white. Anyone know why?

[@carolbucci-garcia5992]

My white headed Oranda is not well and head is tinged pink, change water but no difference??????? He/she is about 8 yrs old

[@Urolling]

Welp time for me to think more on if I should get 2 orandas when I'm a adult or now. If I get them now I'll be with them until I'm 30. And I already have a betta but maybe I'll try to see if I can get a 40 or 50 gallon tank since goldfish are so cute. 👀

[@ayushsalunkhe6257]

Yes I have

[@swapankumarnandi7556]

I have brought 4 baby orandas (oranda size is between 1 to 1.5 inch ) today for my 25 gallon tank that's can be enough space to live healthy life for my fishes.

[@Ilostmyschmungus]

That's not enough space for 4 goldfish. A 55 gallon minimum for 4 goldfish. You shouldn't put them in a tank below 40 gallons.

[@mrbanjofrog]

For a 25 gallon do 1-2, goldfish do prefer a friend but you could get away with 1. An ornada isn’t the best choice for a 25 gallon. I would do a ranchu or if you can get it a pom pom goldfish.

[@aricaw.7317]

Would 35 gallons be a big enough tank for two orandas?

[@creeperYT9824]

Yes

[@thesteamykatsubowl1fan122]

Hi!! I am trying to get 2 oranda goldfish, a 30 gallon tank with some plants, a filter, and food. Do you think a 30 gal is big enough for two?

[@marialevi8273]

If they are still babies. Is ok but eventually you have to move them to a bigger tank. Don’t forget to use some of the old water for good bacteria and let the tank cycle for 2 weeks. I have 2 orandas. They are adorable

[@jmmmcarreon6603]

What kind of pellet do you feed them? A floating or sinking pellet? Pls notice my question, i really need to know, cause im using floating pellet, but my co-keepers told me that it can cause of Swim Bladder Decease

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

To be on the safe side I recommend sinking pellets.

[@jmmmcarreon6603]

Thank youuuu, but how about the brand of sinking pellet

[@averydowning2776]

I really want to get two orange fish, but I don’t know what PH and DH is? Also do I need a heater?

[@mysticalpineapple7263]

Get a pH test and it will explain it all on there, and yes the heater is so much better! They are healthier and will have less problems with the heater, and they also grow really big with heat

[@rahulchauhan-yh4gm]

My oranda got hurt on mouth and red cap area little bit from gravel stones.. When dey are trying to dig it.. Wht to do now plz help as I'm very much concerned

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

I would keep an eye on the Oranda. Watch for any signs of infections and treat it accordingly. "I am not a vet so my advice should not substitute professional medical care"

[@theruffybear5617]

How many gallons?

2

[@flamingbridges1649]

Thats around 50 us gallons so potentially 3 if you keep up with the water changes and have a good filter.

How has he been behaving lately?

[@danceorythm8212]

Can I keep them with shark as they require warm water and oranda needs normal water 🥲

[@sithadesilva4608]

2 orandas

[@merisaquintos3760]

Is it ok i mix the oranda with common gold fish?

[@YodieFish]

No

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

No. commons should be kept with comets or shubunkins but not with fancy goldfish. The sleeker bodied goldfish will out compete the fancies for food.

[@drroy8358]

I am a beginner and I bought red cap 😪 hope he's fine with me!

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

I know a few people whose first fish was a redcap. Just keep an eye on the water quality and make sure it doesn't get any unusual growth in its wen

[@RDDx03]

What is the ideal temperature for red cap oranda ? I maintain temp from 22 - 26 degree Celsius !!! .. do they need heater ??

[@theruffybear5617]

The main reason for a heater is just so the temperature doesn’t go crazy! If it stays relatively the same you should be fine.

One of my orandas died. I had 2 of them in the same tank with no substrate, 2 plants, a lamp and filter pump thing. The water was not the cleanest but I was trying my best to clean it. The ammonia and chlorine levels were managed and everything was fine. They were frequently at the bottom of the tank. One of them kept chasing the other and nibbling it (idk if it was fighting). A few days later, the one that was nibbled died. Can somebody give me help?

Alright a couple things. 1. How big is your tank, and 2. Was your tank cycled?

Is there a way to tell the females and males apart?

Not until they are old enough to breed and then you will be able to tell the male as it will have little white dots all over it's gill plates

Common gold fish get massive, they are not easy to care for long term unless you have a pond.

[@monkeyballs2770]

Can I have 1 in a 10g tank

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

You can if it's a small enough Oranda but only for the short term. You would want a minimum of 20 gallons per fish if you want them to thrive and live a long and happy life.

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

There are a lot of things that can affect growth. How old are they? Did they mature? What size tank? What are they being fed and how often? I would start with these questions and go from there.🙂

[@suroyoverdrive]

@@AquariumFishKeepers what's the best temperature for them to grow faster? And feeding frequencies. Thanks.

[@AquariumFishKeepers]

@@suroyoverdrive 68-71 degrees is optimal for them. There have been some people that raise the water temp a bit and they said they have seen faster growth. I've never personally tried it so I can't say for sure. As far as feeding. You can overfeed and fish and it will grow but it isn't good for the fish. I would stay with feeding it what it needs to thrive but not too much that it gets overweight. My goldfish would eat all day if I let them lol
