Oranda wen

[Koikeeper99]

My orandas wen has lost almost all of its red color it's an orangish color now. Is there any way I can restore its color?

Unlikely. There are color enhancing speciality formulas for specific color in goldfish but I believe your fish is white to begin with so a red formula would affect his white as well.

How would it affect his white?

Hikari is the only line that makes speciality fancy foods for red, white, etc that i know of though there may be some new brands. The result in a white fish may be orangey undertones but I believe some of their top of the line products may not have the same effect. Too expensive for me so I have not tried these. The saki and lionhead formulas actually have very little effect on whites in my experience and produce vibrant colors.

So what food should I get?

Hikari lionhead pellets. That's what I'm going to get for my little red cap.
