Need help finding oranda fish!!?

Question

I am in love with orandas but i'm not quite sure where to find the ones I am looking for. Please help me. I know that petsmart does not have them. Are there any stores where I can find these: blue oranda, white oranda, and black/white oranda? ( I want them to be small or medium size, not big 3-4 year old fish )

Answer 1

I would go to a store that specializes in "fish" - such as an aquarium store. Orandas are a species of gold fish & you should be able to find what you're looking for pretty easily at these type of stores.

Answer 2

One thing you need to watch when you buy orandas, especially pandas. They change color as they age. To get the best 50/50 pands color when mature, you want to go for mostly black with a little pure white tummy. If it's a yellow tinted tummy, you'll probably get a mature black/gold or black/orange. As they grow they will change color from what you bought them as.

Answer 3

black whites are called pandas. the petsmart here has blues. maybe check other petsmarts in the area. i got a white lionhead with yellow wen. you want him? lol. he came from petsmart too. you can get them on ebay or aquabid with some frequency. usually they have larger expensive fish though. just be patient mostly. petsmart here has fish delivery on friday so if i am short a fish i go friday evening and check out their newbies. some stores are bigger than others so try one across town. you can call ahead if its a drive. with a billion different goldfish varieties they can't have them all in stock at once.

Answer 4

You can try petco...petland..or something liek that one of them are bound to have it. or u can go to ur local pet shop oranda's are pretty common and easy to find. or u can look online and order from the internet but i dont think they come as fresh or healthy. good luck !

Answer 5

Look at local pet stores. If you want to by on goldfishrus.com or aquabid.com be prepared to pay $75 or more per fish.
