About Oranda Goldfish
Oranda Goldfish is a type of fish born from a genetic mutation of the common goldfish. This genetic mutation results in a fish with a mass of bubbles on its head called wen. This uniquely shaped goldfish is quite sensitive to water temperatures that are too low. This goldfish can also be kept with other goldfish, but too many of them will make it hard to see because of their large eyes.
