Red Cap Oranda Xl (Carassius auratus)

These extra-large goldfish are icons for a reason. Each one features a clean white body topped with a vivid red wen, which is the fleshy growth that develops on their head as they mature. At this size, their double tails Flow gracefully behind them, making them much slower swimmers than their slim-bodied cousins. They have a ton of personality and often learn to recognize who feeds them, wiggling toward the glass whenever you walk by.

• Requires a spacious tank with high-quality filtration to manage the heavy waste load typical of large goldfish.
• Best kept with other slow-moving fancy varieties to ensure they don't get outcompeted for food.
• Keep the substrate smooth or use fine sand to protect their delicate fins and prevents injury while they sift for snacks.
• Maintain stable water temperatures and perform regular water changes to keep their iconic red caps healthy and vibrant.
