New Oranda

This is my new bronze oranda goldfish. I had read that this was a color choice but had never seen it. Had to have one for my own :) Just got it yesterday and havent come up with a name yet.

very nice.

beautiful! I wish I had space to setup a goldfish tank again.

These bronze orandas are sometimes called 'chocolate' orandas.

Nice looking goldie !

thanks everyone. i saw them at the pet store and had to have one.

lifeisgood - i just found that out yesterday. i had read in a book that they called them bronze but i think chocolate sounds wwwaaaayyyyy better. lol.

Congratz on your new fish... beautiful color....

nice looking goldie.

Name?.. I know there is a pig called Babe.. but in my mind it takes me to the beach.. a "Bronzed Beach BABE".. sorry if it comes off as sexist... but Babe sounds cool to me.. Bill

Nice looking fish! Still amazing how many colors shades there our for these guys

I had one of those guys- bronze/chocolate ..... He is about 90% orange now

I hope that yours new fellow stays that color for you or that you didn't pay too much for it if he does change I just saw some today- smallish being sold as blue's for $29.99 they had very cute faces but I am fairly certain the blue is a diluted black and will turn even lighter silver at some point.

Good luck & have fun with him/her.
