Red Cap Oranda Goldfish
Goldfish are a great starter fish to recommend for ponds and aquariums. The Red Cap Oranda Goldfish has a pearly white body and fins with metallic scales. They can be distinguished by their large red "hood" that covers their head. They are very hardy and will eat just about anything that is fed to them. Like most goldfish, the Red Cap Oranda will get quite large and will need a large aquarium or pond when full grown. They are considered diggers, so use caution when adding plants because they can get uprooted. They will eat just about any pellet or flake that you offer, however, be sure the food has vegetable foods in it. Freshwater food with vegetables will help prevent swim bladder problems.
