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.  |

Hi happybuddah!
I like the first oranda. It has nice wen and a cute "puppy face". Don't let the longer body fool you. Oranda's are larger goldfish breed and when this guys gets to be 2 years old. Wow! It will fill out nicely. Here is a pic of what a Westerner would consisder a very nice show quality oranda. (Not my fish)  |
