I was googling and came across this unusual (to me) goldfish at a Japanese web site.
 It has the head of a top-view ranchu but a butterfly tails. There's a dorsal fin on the ranchu-like body; I wonder how it looks from the side. I can't read Japanese, but here's the page with more goldfishes I've never seen before.  |

Ironically, Oranda is Japanese translation for english "Holland" Back in the old days, this type of fish was known as a "Dutch Ranchu", but shortened to just called Oranda (Holland).
So this oranda having a strong ranchu wen may truly be what an oranda should look like. |
