Like other orandas, it displays a double tail and the distinctive, fleshy “wen” hood on its entire head. In addition to its pearlescent color, it sometimes also displays a pinkish hue to its body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA generally peaceful and hardy species, the Red Cap Oranda Goldfish is an excellent, undemanding candidate for coldwater, \u003cu\u003egoldfish-centric\u003c\/u\u003e aquariums. Though it is very hardy, it requires a spacious tank with very clean water, powerful filtration, and frequent water changes. Debris can collect in the fleshy wen hood of Orandas, sometimes causing disease, so it is especially important to maintain extra clean water for such goldfish varieties. This fish is not particularly fussy about pH or hardness as long as its aquarium is well-maintained and stable. Like all goldfish, Orandas are not schooling fish per se, but they are very social and appreciate the company of other goldfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Red Cap Oranda Goldfish constantly searches for food at all levels of the aquarium. It will uproot and pick at plants, so it is not a good candidate for the heavily planted aquarium. Any plants kept with it must be relatively rigid and able to withstand the Oranda’s constant grazing. The Red Cap Oranda Goldfish will also pick at anything else that it might consider potential food, so it should not be kept with most invertebrates. In fact, there are very few non-goldfish species that make good tankmates for goldfish due to the feeding habits and exceptionally high waste production of all goldfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFeeding is very simple for the omnivorous Red Cap Oranda Goldfish. However, protein content should only make up about one-third of its diet. It should be fed a varied diet of high-quality dry foods that are specifically designed for goldfish, and it will also appreciate some fresh vegetable matter. Care must be taken not to overfeed goldfish since they will eat any and all food that is present, even to the point of internal injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat We Like About This Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeaceful and hardy addition to goldfish tanks and some ponds, though they cannot tolerate the extreme cold conditions that some other goldfish varieties can inhabit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful contrasting colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery active\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique appearance as well as plenty of personality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE GUIDELINES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet: Omnivorous, should be fed relatively low-protein foods designed specifically for goldfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial behavior: Social with other goldfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Tank-raised, but indigenous to East Asia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage adult size: 7 inches (17.8 cm) or larger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage purchase size: 1.5 - 2 inches (3.8 - 5 cm) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003epH level range: 6.0 – 8.0 (flexible as long as sudden changes are avoided.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTemperature range: 65° - 72° F (18° - 22° C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eKH: 5 - 19 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMinimum tank size: 30+ gallons for a juvenile or subadult, though larger tanks are much more optimal.
