Swee boh?
I know I once said I don't like Oranda but... lately I've been quite fascinated by them especially if they have massive headgrowth. I also said I don't like calico goldfish ... but... given a choice... I still prefer a "normal" goldfish.  Here's the first of two I bought in Hong Kong.  |

Wow, to me these fish look absolutely stunning. I'm a huge fan of orandas with huge wen and I think they're pretty rare to find...What adds more beauty to these is the color, I normally don't like calicos but I love calicos that have a lot of bright red, light shades and not too much black.
I don't see a problem with the first one's body, I think longer body is better for orandas with massive heads like this because short bodied ones can't carry the head so well and usually end up facing down a lot. HappyBuddha, could you please add pictures of them after they adjusted to their new environement? I would like to see pics of them swimming. Thanks! |
