Do all oranda goldfish have split tails?

I have a 7 month old Oranda (my lfs said he was an oranda when I got him). Over the last 7 months he has really developed a wen which made me believe he was an oranda. Although, all the pictures I’ve seen of orandas show them with split/double tails. My oranda has a single tail for the most part. There’s a tiny slit at the top but that’s it. Perhaps he is too young and still hasn’t developed it ? Or maybe he just isn’t an oranda ? I attached pictures of him when I got him and now. Thank you!

He’s definitely an oranda. The tail could grow longer as he ages and the “split” could end up being more pronounced. If not “goldfish purists” would just consider it a flaw in the oranda. You have a pretty fish no matter what anyone else says.
