Premium A Grade Redcap Jellyhead Oranda Goldfish for Canadian Aquariums

The Redcap Jellyhead Oranda Goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a premium fancy goldfish variety celebrated for its snow-white body, vibrant red head growth (wen), and smooth jellyhead profile. This A Grade 3.5-inch specimen is carefully selected for outstanding colour contrast, symmetrical body shape, healthy finnage, and exceptional overall quality.
