Hiya.

My little blue Oranda that I got a couple weeks ago has just now started to devolp a wen......I am feeding him food high in protien (just like my other goldies) Such has blood worms, baby shrimp, and tubfix worms. Also pro-gold and hiakai lionhead pellets

Will this increase the chance of my little oranda (about 2 inches) grow those amazing wens? this oranda is my first BABY oranda all the others i have are adults with already devolped big wens......So I'am not very familair with the baby orandas and the devolpment of the wen and how to increase its size. :ph34r:

So if i keep feeding him foods high in protien will that increase the chance of growing a big healthy wen? I know genetics plays a roll......I just want to give it a boost

anyone? :ph34r:

Hi I found this link that recommends feeding your fish bloodworms twice a week for good wen growth.

Thanx Athena!!! that site had some good info in there. I feed bloodworms 3 times a week so......I hope is wen will grow!!!

Feed Hikari Lionhead. It's high in protein. And I've had good wen luck with it

Thanx Jess

I have also used the hikari lionhead and noticed an improvement in wen growth. Not really sure why but I assume the protein content plays some type of a role.
