Basic care information: A selectively bred Oranda variety known for its distinctive black-and-white “panda” coloration, rounded body, flowing double tail, and fleshy head growth called a wen. The black coloration can fade or change as the fish matures, sometimes developing orange, bronze, or white areas. Provide strong biological filtration, good oxygenation, ample swimming space, and regular water changes. Maintain clean, stable water around 18–23°C with a pH of approximately 6.5–8.0. Use smooth décor to prevent injury to the wen and keep with other slow-moving fancy goldfish.
