Chocolate Oranda Goldfish

There are many different types of fancy goldfish, one popular variety is the oranda goldfish. Chocolate oranda are a breed of goldfish that originate from China, with a prominent bubble-like hood on the head also known as a "wen" or crown. It has a large, long and deep body (they can be as wide as they are long ) accompanied by a long quadruple tail.

Orandas aren’t strong swimmers. As such, they appreciate the most oxygenated waters you can provide. Consider adding air stones to boost the oxygen levels. Planted tanks with enough clear space for swimming are ideal - elodea and Vallisneria are a good choose of plant to use with orandas. When choosing to decorate your aquarium consider objects that wont cause damage to the head (crown/wen) of your oranda.

Chocolate Oranda goldfish make peaceful additions to community tanks and shouldn't cause any problems for the rest of your fish. Oranda goldfish are easy to keep healthy if the tank is clean and they are fed a good diet, making them suitable for beginners.

How big do Chocolate Oranda goldfish get?
A fully grown Chocolate Oranda fancy goldfish usually reaches 15-30cm, around 6-12" inches in length. A high protein feed and a large aquarium will help to achieve maximum growth potential. Care must be taken not to house with smaller fish that can fit in its mouth, when it reaches adult size. 

Can you keep Chocolate Oranda goldfish in an outdoor pond?
Chocolate Oranda goldfish, like many fancy goldfish, will survive in temperatures above 16 degrees, which makes them unsuitable for ponds during cold autumn and winter seasons. Many aquarists keep fancy goldfish like Chocolate oranda's in outdoor or indoor ponds during the summer, and transfer them indoors to an aquarium during the winter months.

Ease of care
Easy to moderate. Sometimes the wen grows enormously, covering the eyes of the goldfish. Due to this, the eyesight may become limited or even blind. Special care should be given to the wen because it is prone to bacterial infections, and may inhibit the oranda's ability to find food. Being a slow-swimmer, ensure Chocolate Orandas are not out-competed for food if kept with fast swimming fish.

Compatibility
Fancy oranda goldfish are compatible with virtually all community goldfish. As they grow, care must be taken not to house with fin-nippers or smaller fish that they are able to fit in their mouth. Mixing oranda's along with Black Moor, Ryukin, Fantails or Pearlscale goldfish is ideal. They are slow swimmers, non-competitive at feeding and very friendly, making them the perfect tank mates. Oranda goldfish are not a schooling fish but will feel comfortable in a tank with a number of their own species. Other compatible tankmates include shoals of white cloud mountain minnows, plecos and corydoras (in warmer tanks).

Diet
Omnivorous. Feed sinking and floating goldfish pellets, flake and broken-up algae wafer. Will also happily eat bloodworm, brine shrimp and other meaty fresh food (frozen is fine)

Breeding

Egg layers. Goldfish typically spawn in late spring to early summer in temperate regions. In indoor aquaria, you are likely to succeed if you give them a cooler period simulating winter, followed by a gradual warming up to imitate the seasons changing. Orandas can be difficult to sex when small; the females have thinner, narrow pectoral fins, and under the caudal fin you will find the vent (the vent is rounder and more pronounced).

Life Span
Chocolate oranda goldfish can live up to 10-15 years in perfect conditions.

Epic!!!!
Format: Kindle
Absolutely addicted from the first page. The twists and turns, world building and character development all come together for the perfect Omegaverse. And let's not forget that spice because knots are life and these are spectacular. Running for book #2 because that cliffhanger was torturous.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
