The Ryukin Red Oranda is a captivating and highly admired variety of fancy goldfish known for its unique appearance and striking coloration. It's a combination of two distinct goldfish types: the Ryukin and the Oranda. This breed features the body shape of a Ryukin, which is characterized by a round and chubby body, paired with the distinctive wen (fleshy growth on the head) of an Oranda. The Red Oranda variety is renowned for its bright red coloration and the charming wen that can cover its entire head. These features make the Ryukin Red Oranda a favorite among goldfish enthusiasts.

Origin: Goldfish, including the Ryukin Red Oranda, are believed to have originated in China through selective breeding.

Temperature: The ideal temperature range for Ryukin Red Oranda Goldfish is between 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F).

Water Quality: They thrive in a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 and prefer moderately hard water. Maintaining good water quality is essential for their health.

Aquarium Size: Due to their round body shape and potential growth, a minimum tank size of 75 liters is recommended for a single Ryukin Red Oranda Goldfish. The tank should have no sharp decorations to prevent injury to their delicate wen.

Feeding: Their diet should consist of high-quality goldfish pellets or flakes, supplemented with occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms. Proper nutrition is essential to support the growth of their wen.

Lifespan: With proper care, Ryukin Red Oranda Goldfish can live for about 10 to 15 years or even longer.
