The charming Red Cap Oranda Goldfish (Carassius auratus) is one of many healthy high-quality aquatic life available at LiveAquaria® for your freshwater aquarium.
The Red Cap Oranda is one of several varieties of what is commonly known as the Goldfish, Carassius auratus auratus . The Goldfish originally came from parts of Asia, Japan, and China but now enjoys worldwide distribution due to controlled breeding programs. The Red Cap Oranda is typically a metallic-scaled fish. Resembling the Veil Tail varieties, the Oranda's distinction is in the hood that covers its head. In the case of the Red Cap Oranda, this hood is a predominant, bright red, while the body is an iridescent white. All goldfish are members of the carp group and are generally quite hardy. The Red Cap Oranda will do well in a tank of 30 gallons of water or more with a fine gravel bottom and hardy, cold water plants, as well as backyard garden ponds of 180 gallons or more. Goldfish are diggers and will scatter the fine sand onto leaves, injuring thin and less hardy plants. Roots and well-rounded river rocks are appreciated. There appears to be a definite courtship ritual when Goldfish breed. Breeding often results in up to 1,000 eggs, with fry hatching in five to six days. They should be fed small pieces of live or prepared foods designed for egg-laying fish. Goldfish are omnivorous, and will eat all types of dried and live foods. Limit protein, however, to 30% of the diet. A Goldfish flake or pellet food will provide these fish with the proper nutrition. Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1 to 2-3/4; Medium 2-3/4 to 4 Large 4 to 4-3/4
