Housing
The Panda Oranda is a selectively bred black & white variety of fancy goldfish. They are one of the most popular varieties of Goldfish in the hobby. Given proper care, they can reach 6 to 8 inches and live for up to 20 years! The aquarium should be spacious and at least 1.5m long for one fully grown adult Panda Goldfish.
Room temperature is the ideal conditions for these fish. They fish grow very fast, so please ensure your are able to accommodate! It is advised that they are housed in the largest possible aquarium from the outset as they are messy fish and require powerful filtration. That's just not realistic in smaller aquariums because the water movement will become too powerful. Larger aquariums also stay stable for longer. Efficient filtration is essential and it needs to be able to handle copious amounts of waste. Plants can be added to the aquarium, but will need to be replaced periodically as most goldfish enjoy eating and uprooting them.
During the warmer months of the year, they can be kept outdoors in raised ponds. Appropriate protection must be added to prevent predators from being able to catch them.
Conspecifics
Orandas are sociable fish and should be kept in groups with their own kind or any other fancy goldfish such as Moors. Comets and other more robust pond fish should be avoided as tank mates they are much faster and will out compete the orandas for food. They also require much stronger flow than what the orandas can tolerate.
Food
Feed high quality goldfish food and fresh or frozen fish foods such as bloodworm, brine shrimp and mysis.
