RED CAP FISH

The Red Cap Goldfish is a popular variety of goldfish known for its distinctive appearance. The Red Cap Goldfish is notable for its bright red or orange-red cap-like growth on its head, which contrasts with its otherwise white or metallic body. A generally peaceful and hardy species, The Red Cap Oranda Goldfish is an excellent, undemanding candidate for coldwater, goldfish-centric aquariums. Though it is very hardy, it requires a spacious tank with very clean water, powerful filtration, and frequent water changes. Debris can collect in the fleshy wen hood of orandas, sometimes causing disease, so it is especially important to maintain extra clean water for such goldfish varieties. This fish is not particularly fussy about pH or hardness as long as its aquarium is well-maintained and stable. Like all goldfish, orandas are not schooling fish per se, but they are very social and appreciate the company of other goldfish.
