Basic care information: A color variety of the Oranda recognized by its white to silvery-white body and distinctive bright red wen concentrated on the top of the head. Provide ample swimming space, strong biological filtration, good oxygenation, and regular water changes. Maintain clean, stable water around 18–24°C with a pH of approximately 6.5–8.0. Use smooth décor to avoid damaging the wen and keep with other slow-moving fancy goldfish. The red-and-white coloration may change somewhat as the fish matures.
