#13322 Calico Ryukin

This batch of calico ryukin has proven to be very robust and nice.  I think they represent a lot of “bang for the buck”.  Good size fish, and every one of them has been active and trouble-free.  This one is pretty with interesting color.

#13281 Tiger Oranda

Just a few of these large Tiger Orandas left, and no more expected this year.  This one is very striking, massive, with gorgeous color.  Not as stout as some, but has a very powerful body.  Holding on with two hands, it still almost managed to escape my grasp after its photo shoot. A strong swimmer, […]

#13261 Blue Oranda

Just a couple of these available, and this is my favorite and the best.  SUPER STOCKY body on this impressive oranda.  This box of orandas came in with very noticeable damage to their fins.  I think they were simply too powerful and active during shipping and did it to themselves.  The damage healed quickly, but […]

This one came in last summer with damage to its fins.  Now healed, but the fins have “blunt” edges.  It’s super responsive and very active, with lots of personality.  This seems to be the case with many fish that have been here longer than new imports.  They basically learn how to beg and interact after […]

Very pretty in silvery/blue metallic, this large fish is showy with long fins.  Only 7 of these were imported, and they came in with very scruffed up fins.  They all healed quickly, but still have some scruffiness to the edges.   This is the best one left, and is quite nice, even with the small […]

#13147 Calico Ryukin

Imported in February, these have proven to be extremely robust.  I’ve kept them in an indoor pond, and they are quite colorful and showy from above.  Given their hardiness, they’d be great in either a tank or pond.  Nice overall fish in large size.   Very pretty, subtle color is hard to appreciate in the […]

If you want to just buy food, please use the link on the homepage, which adds $5.88 to cover USPS Priority Shipping.  

I have been advocating the use of moist food for years.  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.  Unfortunately, most goldfish foods have no moisture content at all.   That’s because, with the exception of frozen foods, others would spoil and have no shelf-life.  So, most goldfish food is “dry as a bone”, and ultimately not the best for the fish, even if the ingredients are high quality.   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.  We’ve addressed this issue for years by “hydrating” all of the pellets we’ve fed.  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.   This made them like little meatballs, but they still held together and didn’t fall apart in the tank.  Well, we have quit messing around with pellets!  That’s because after months of trials, and many conversations with fellow hobbyists for over a year, we feel that Soilent Green is the best solution for the main staple in the Goldfish diet.  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.  Soilent Green solves these issues with an easy to make product.   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.  Anything left in the pan gels up and peels right off.  Once a batch is made, we chop it up on a cutting board into bite size pieces and store in the fridge.  We are 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.

I’ve always said that I’d rather concentrate on the fish, and not get into selling products or food.   That was mostly because I never felt enough confidence in any food that I wanted to promote or represent it.  The other reason is the nature of internet commerce.  Huge companies can offer some retail products for less than I can even get them wholesale.  Being a small business, it’s hard to compete, and I simply wasn’t going to try to.  I’d have to buy, stock, sell, and ship hundreds of pounds of food just to make a thousand dollars.  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.  : )

All of that being said, I have now decided to offer this Repashy Soilent Green.  After years of being asked about food, and seeing many people struggle with food related issues, I think this is a great solution.  Repashy has high quality ingredients, plus the moisture that I’ve always advocated, and we’ve seen great results using it.   Fish are active, healthy, with vibrant color and none of the goofy post-feeding buoyancy issues seen with dry foods.  Repashy also has a good relationship with its retailers, and sets MAP pricing for their products.  This is Minimum Advertised Pricing, which keeps huge sellers from undercutting small business.   So, you should see similar pricing no matter what the source, leaving you to support good merchants instead of buying simply based on price.   Speaking of price….Repashy does come in smaller quantities, but the unit cost is much more optimal at the 1lb. size.   We are stocking this size ONLY, since it is a better value.  While it is a lot of food, it does have a good shelf-life until gelled, so it shouldn’t go to waste.

SHIPPING INFO.  If you are getting fish, a 1lb. bag can be added to your shipment for no additional shipping cost.  If you are just getting food, then shipping will be via USPS priority mail, and will be $5.80, for a total of $27.80 delivered.  (Please note if just getting food, please use the link on the homepage for food.)

DIRECTIONS: To prepare one cup of product, add ¼ cup of powder into ¾ cup of cold water and stir until blended. Microwave until it starts to boil (typically 2-3 minutes), remove and stir. Alternatively, bring water to a boil on stove, remove from heat, and stir in powder. Immediately pour into a storage container or mould, and let sit at room temp until firm. The finished gel can be cut into cubes, shredded, or used as a whole slab. Whatever is not used immediately should be treated as fresh food. It can be stored sealed in refrigerator for up to two weeks, and in freezer for up to six months. To adjust firmness of gel, use more or less water as desired.

Imported in February, these have proven to be extremely robust.  I’ve kept them in an indoor pond, and they are quite colorful and showy from above.  Given their hardiness, they’d be great in either a tank or pond.  Nice overall fish in large size.   Very pretty, subtle color is hard to appreciate in the photos.

These are very hard to find, but I was able to import a limited quantity in February.   This one has always caught my eye, and has been a great overall fish.  Very striking, contrasty color on this large fish.

Nice overall form on this one.  Excellent potential already showing in this young ryukin.

Sakura color is very lovely, and hard to fully appreciate in the photos.  This fish is very friendly with personality, and always is the first to greet me when I approach.
