Alan_ Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hello guys, I brought some "Orandas" (what it was labeled as at the fish store) about 2 months ago, now that they've grown out they seem to look more and more like Ryukins. Can anyone help me ID them to make sure? They don't have the wen growth that my Red Oranda and Red cap have. https://gyazo.com/3c9374f652b55e8ed06ed3adc15124d9 https://gyazo.com/8515666592ef750d5d818a6e35667778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanTruth Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I think you need to grow them out more to be 100% sure, in my opinion. Not all orandas get a massive wen, but they should get some growth nevertheless. Ryukins have that large, high arch to them starting at the back of their head, and yours aren’t showing that yet. My guess is that they are probably Orandas, but need to be grown out more. Lots of bloodworms may help wen development as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_ Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks for the help so far, I might just have to grow them out more. Their diet has been heavy on bloodworms though. Seems one of the pictures didn't upload. Here's a video to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorydorasEthan Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 @Alan_ Yep those look like Ryukins to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 you have 4 orandas for sure, the other two look like young ryukins to me, but its tough to tell the one white one may be a fantail or young ryukin. You do have 4 orandas for sure though, and one is a red cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
