..I want her e_e <333

Fiona is an oranda...

yes its kokos Fiona. she is an oranda. i also believe she is orange now.

I -love- her face..

what do I need to look at in an oranda before I buy one to try to get a face like that before I buy?1

Alot of it has to do with genetics... and it's often hard to tell when they're young how things will turn out (My red and white oranda Hoover had no wen what so ever when I got him and now six months later, he's got a nice full face going on), however a good visual clue on a young fish would be a nicely sized wen (relative to it's size of course) already showing, though even that isnt a complete garuntee. If you absolutely HAVE to have one like that (and who could blame you), your only sure shot would be to get an older goldy who already has a healthy, huge wen... some places will have them, some wont; I know my local petsmart has one whole tank with just three huge orandas and all of them have great wens. I remember when I got Hoover that I was SO tempted, but I'm really glad I didnt do it because watching Hoover blossom has been so much more rewarding!

Good luck!


PS: Color enhancing diets and lots and lots of bloodworms can also give wen growth a boost too!

Fiona was sure beautiful black,wasn't she? The last time I saw her,she was Orange and white,with a couple specks of black.Maybe Koko will update us on her latest look with a new pic of the pretty girl.

Yes, I would LOVE to see her now Koko!

*wink*


But, yes, I would rather watch my fish-fish progress and grow.

Thanks for telling me everyone!
