Lionhead Goldfish


The lionhead or red capped oranda are very unique fish because of the bulge on top of their head. Although they look very cool with the bulge on their head it can become annoying to
the fish because the bulge when he gets older and bigger will cover his eyes and gills, there
or making it hard for them to breath and this can lead to gill fluke. They should be kept with other disabled fish because there slow in the race to food. These fish can grow 9 inches.
Here are some care facts-
-Keep them with other disabled fish that are slow and they might get gill fluke so watch there gills
-Don't keep them with single tailed goldfish because they might nip at him. (Goldfish and comets won't)
-The red capped oranda (picture to the left) and the lionhead (picture to the right) are the same thing except there colour. The red capped is silver with a red bulge and the lionhead is orange
with an orange bulge.
