Please buy SUPER GOLD here, and continue to support Dandy Orandas during this break in fish sales.

I've had several people ask if I'll still be selling SUPER GOLD once fish sales cease. The answer is YES!...and without fish to sell, truthfully I will need all the support I can get! While you can buy SUPER GOLD from sites like Amazon, I don't get a penny from those sales, so I ask that you please buy from me on this site. You won't find it any cheaper anywhere else, and I also have a couple exclusive size offerings not found elsewhere. Most important, I feel that this is the absolute best food you can feed fancy goldfish. I've fed nothing else for nearly three years now, and have had amazing results. I'll be releasing a couple videos about SUPER GOLD soon, with tips on making it, and info about the benefits of it over foods out there.

Thank You in advance for your support. CLICK HERE to purchase, and don't hesitate to contact me if you ever need anything, or have any questions.

cheers,
Ken
GOLDFISH ACROSS AMERICA TOUR!!!

Dandy Orandas has customers in every state of the USA. I know some quite well and consider many of you to be friends at this point. I've had an idea for nearly 20 years that it would be great to actually meet many of you in person someday. I've always had fish here though, so it's been nearly impossible to leave, even for a day. The decision to forego imports due to tariffs provides the freedom to finally make my idea happen.

I plan on doing a tour of the Southern Half of the USA, starting in late February. That will include stops at various locations to talk goldfish, with video interviews of people, their setups, their fish, etc.. I already have several interesting places and people lined up, but am inviting everyone out there to possibly be a part of the tour. There is still a lot of planning ...exact locations, timing, etc., but I hope to piece those details together in the upcoming weeks.

The pic below is a rough sketch of my tentative route. It is not exact, and there will likely be some deviation, but I don't plan on being in the north half of the USA at this time.

Anyway, if you would be interested in having me stop by your area, I'd love to see everyone I can during this tour. And, you don't have to be an old customer...I hope to meet lots of new people too! If interested and close to my route, please email me with some basic info....

1. Your location
2. A little about yourself and your fish hobby. How you got started, etc.
3. Quick description of your setup/s
4. If you'd be willing to be part of a quick video interview with your fish.
5. Any other thoughts you'd like to share, including points of interest in your area. Fish related places would be great, but I haven't traveled much, so would be interested in most any points of interest along the way.

Please send email to...

goldfishtour@dandyorandas.com

I hope to make this informative and interesting, as well as lots of fun! It will be hard to visit everyone, but I hope to see as many people as possible. It's going to be me and my three kids (rescue dogs) in an old RV for about three months. That alone should be interesting!

See you soon?

cheers,
Ken

New Book…The Truth About Goldfish

Written by one of my customers, here's a great read for anyone interested in the goldfish hobby. Whether you are just starting, or have been keeping goldfish for years, this book has lots of great information to help increase your success. Available in digital download for just $9.95, it's perhaps the most affordable yet best investment that you can make in this hobby.

Large fish with long tail, and also has excellent motion and balance for a pearlscale. Â Very active and responsive.

WOW! Â This one dazzles with it’s vivid color and amazing form. Â Big, showy broadtail with huge fins. Â Great overall fish.

Called black, but more of a bronzey color. Â This one is very nice, and super fat.

Striking color on this large ranchu with smooth back. Â Nice fish, with excellent motion and balance.

If you want to JUST BUY FOOD, please use the link on the homepage, which adds $6.80 to cover USPS Priority Shipping.Â Â

I have been advocating the use ofÂ moist foodÂ for years. Â Moist food moves more easily through the digestive tract, results in more efficient nutrient assimilation, and also minimizes balance/buoyancy problems many fish have after eating dry food. Â Unfortunately, most goldfish foods have no moisture content at all. Â Thatâ€™s because, with the exception of frozen foods, others would spoil and have no shelf-life. Â So, most goldfish food is â€œdry as a boneâ€, and ultimately not the best for the fish, even if the ingredients are high quality. Â Our fish farmers raise the goldfish on moist food, so it makes no sense to switch them to a dry diet after they are imported. Â Iâ€™ve addressed this issue for years by â€œhydratingâ€ all of the pellets weâ€™ve fed. Â This involved a slow process of introducing moisture and refrigerating pellets to make sure they were soft throughout, and not just wetted on the outside. Â This made them like little meatballs, but they still held together and didnâ€™t fall apart in the tank. Â Well, I have quit messing around with pellets! Â Thatâ€™s because after months of trials, and many conversations with fellow hobbyists for over a year, I feel that Soilent Green is the best solution for the main staple in the Goldfish diet. Â I used to make my own gel food, but it was time consuming, messy, and I never felt confident that the mix of ingredients was optimal. Â Soilent Green solves these issues with an easy to make product. Â Brought to a boil in a non-stick pan, and poured onto a non-stick cookie sheet, it gels quickly with little to no clean up. Â Anything left in the pan gels up and peels right off. Â Once a batch is made, I chop it up on a cutting board into bite size pieces and store in the fridge. Â I am actually making pounds of it every other day, but the average hobbyist should be able to make a small batch every week or two, spending less than 15 minutes to do so.

Iâ€™ve always said that Iâ€™d rather concentrate on the fish, and not get into selling products or food. Â That was mostly because I never felt enough confidence in any food that I wanted to promote or represent it. Â The other reason is the nature of internet commerce. Â Huge companies can offer some retail products for less than I can even get them wholesale. Â Being a small business, itâ€™s hard to compete, and I simply wasnâ€™t going to try to. Â Iâ€™d have to buy, stock, sell, and ship hundreds of pounds of food just to make a tiny profit. Â Again, it made sense to just focus on the fish, especially since that takes a huge amount of time already, and because goldfish is what Dandy Orandas does best. Â : )

All of that being said, I have now decided to offer this Repashy Soilent Green. Â After years of being asked about food, and seeing many people struggle with food related issues, I think this is a great solution. Â Repashy has high quality ingredients, plus the moisture that Iâ€™ve always advocated, and weâ€™ve seen great results using it. Â Fish are active, healthy, with vibrant color and none of the goofy post-feeding buoyancy issues seen with dry foods. Â Repashy also has a good relationship with its retailers, and sets MAP pricing for their products. Â This is Minimum Advertised Pricing, which keeps huge sellers from undercutting small business. Â So, you should see similar pricing no matter what the source, leaving you to support good merchants instead of buying simply based on price. Â Speaking of priceâ€¦.Repashy does come in smaller quantities, but the unit cost is much more optimal at the 1.1lb. size. Â I am stocking this size ONLY, since it is a better value. Â While it is a lot of food, it does have a good shelf-life until gelled, so it shouldnâ€™t go to waste.

SHIPPING INFO. Â If you are getting fish, a 1.1 lb. bag can be added to your shipment for no additional shipping cost. Â If you are just getting food, then shipping will be via USPS priority mail, and will be $6.80, for a total of $32.79 delivered. Â (Please note if just getting food, please use the link on the homepage for food.)
