Yuan Bao Tiger Oranda Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
The Yuan Bao Tiger Oranda Goldfish is a stunning variety of fancy goldfish, easily distinguished by its unique cap, known as the “wen,” and its vibrant calico colour pattern. Originating from East Asia, these fish are admired for their elegant appearance and captivating personality, making them a favourite among goldfish enthusiasts.
Appearance:
The Yuan Bao Tiger Oranda features a distinctive head growth called the “wen,” which usually begins to develop fully when the fish is around two years old. This cap covers most of their head, leaving only the eyes and mouth visible, giving them a distinctive, almost whimsical look. Their body is round and compact, with the length being only about 30% larger than the width, creating a bubble-like, spherical shape.
This variety showcases a range of beautiful colours, including shades of black, red, orange-yellow, blue, and intricate calico patterns that blend multiple hues. The caudal fin is long, flowing, and resembles intertwined silk threads, extending almost two-thirds of the body length, which adds a touch of grace to their movement.
Aquarium Care:
Yuan Bao Tiger Orandas require a well-maintained aquarium with a water temperature range of 10-24°C and a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. Since they grow up to 30 cm, a spacious tank of at least 100 litres is recommended to provide enough room for their active swimming. Their cap size and colour intensity depend greatly on their living conditions, so ensure a clean environment with good filtration to maintain their health and vibrancy.
Tank Mates:
These goldfish are peaceful by nature, making them suitable for community tanks with other non-aggressive species. However, avoid pairing them with fin-nipping fish that might damage their delicate fins and cap. Ideal tank mates include other fancy goldfish varieties or similarly slow-moving species that thrive in cooler water temperatures.
Feeding & Nutrition:
As herbivores, Yuan Bao Tiger Orandas benefit from a varied diet that includes high-quality goldfish pellets, flakes, and fresh vegetables like spinach, lettuce, and peas. Supplement their diet with occasional treats like bloodworms or daphnia to keep them healthy and maintain their vibrant colours. Feeding them a balanced diet will enhance their natural beauty and support their immune system.
Lifespan:
With proper care, these Oranda goldfish can live up to 15 years or even longer in a well-maintained aquarium. Their longevity depends on water quality, diet, and overall living conditions, so regular water changes and a balanced diet are crucial to their long-term health.
