The Apache Oranda is a Thai special-color oranda goldfish. It comes from award-winning farms in Thailand, and the juveniles are sold unsexed, male or female. Sex can be requested.
It is a giant breed that can grow to a 5.5-7 inch body. Juveniles look slimmer and become rounder and stockier as they age. Apache coloring is red and black. The fins are usually black and the body red. The wen (head growth) can be white, lemon or black.
The tail bone is longer and stronger than on short-bodied orandas, and the tail is more voluminous. The dorsal fin is high, and the tail sits up high at 75-90° when seen from the side. From the back, the tail shape can be butterfly, rosetail or orchid. The pelvic and anal fins are big and help the fish keep its balance.
