Unlike the well-known Red Cap Oranda, a true Red Cap Fantail lacks the puffy headgrowth (called a \"wen\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this variety has a flatter, unblemished head, it can be easily distinguished from an oranda by checking for key differences:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead Structure: A Red Cap Fantail has a completely smooth head. A Red Cap Oranda has a fleshy, brain-like growth (wen) that covers the top of the head and sometimes the gill plates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwimming Ability: Fantails have a naturally streamlined shape and strong fins, making them vigorous, agile swimmers. Orandas are much clumsier and slower due to the weight of their wen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Fantails have a more compressed, egg-shaped body paired with a tall dorsal fin. Orandas tend to have a wider, rounder, and more robust \"globe\" profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Fantails are hardy and robust enough that they can even be kept in some outdoor ponds. Orandas are highly sensitive to poor water quality, as their delicate wen can easily catch infections if water parameters are unstable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy in our SWO winters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool nicely with all other pond fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive with body with red or orange cap on the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MSR Imporium","offers":[{"title":"3-4in","offer_id":52857383190817,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/3700\/files\/redcap.jpg?v=1781623106","url":"https:\/\/bloominbog.com\/products\/red-cap-fantail-goldfish","provider":"The Bloomin Bog Water Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
