Hi everyone. I'm from Bowie Md, and I love Oranda's. I am the proud father of 15 goldfish in a 125 gal tank. They provide lots of pleasure for my entire family. Looking forward to chatting with all of you.

Welcome to the forum!
I just got my first oranda the other day, hopefully I have as good luck with him as you do with all of yours.

PS-I love your tank, I'm feeling pretty jealous right now...

Thank you Mikey. I've had this tank for 14 years. I just upgraded from those whisper filters in the pic, to a Fluval 405. The Fluval 405 has exceeded my expectations. :yess:

They will grwo nice and large in that tank if you don't overcrowd them... Looks good to me

Thank you Cincy :)

15 of these med size fish is my limit for now. I am preparing to buy another tank in the future to split the group as they get bigger.

I notice that you are a breeder. Is it possible to find a panda oranda that looks like this? A pair of these will complete my collection :angel:

I've been warned many times about getting a panda, color changing etc....
I'm considering just getting 2 all black oranda's. They will replace my two regular fantails that have a new home waiting for them. :angel:

Nice! I will check it out. I was also looking at the goldfish connection, and wondering when the next sale will be posted. The gallery on that site is amazing! :worship:

I think the closest I have ever seen to that in real life is at Dandy Orandas, email Ken Fisher
