goldenswimmers Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) This guy is one of the rare what I call "super orandas"..its an oranda that comes from 2 ranchu parents and just my opinion but I reckon they rock they grow to be more robust and have a nice full headgrowth...I got him out of a very small batch of babies and have a couple more from all the spawns I've had...I also included a pic at the end so people can get an idea how they turn out when full sized,etc..
