To ensure the health and well-being of your Panda Thai Oranda, maintaining the correct water conditions is crucial. These fish are relatively hardy, but stable, clean water is essential for their vibrant coloration and longevity.

• Water Temperature: 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C)
• pH Level: 7.0 to 8.0 (slightly alkaline)
• Water Hardness: 6–15 dGH (moderately hard to hard)
• Ammonia/Nitrite Levels: 0 ppm (parts per million) – both ammonia and nitrites must be kept at zero for the health of the fish.
• Nitrate Levels: Below 20 ppm for optimal health.
• Filtration: A good filtration system is essential to keep the water clean and maintain proper oxygen levels. Regular water changes (about 20% per week) will help ensure high water quality.

Tank Size Recommendations:

• Minimum tank size: 20–30 gallons (for a single Oranda)
• Larger tanks (40 gallons or more) are ideal if keeping multiple Orandas or adding tankmates.

Care Tips:

1. Diet: Feed a varied diet consisting of high-quality pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, and blanched vegetables. Ensure to feed them in small amounts to prevent overfeeding.
2. Tank Setup: Provide a tank with soft decorations and no sharp edges, as Orandas can sometimes bump into objects due to their rounded shape. Smooth gravel or sand substrate is ideal.
3. Water Maintenance: Regular water changes and good filtration are essential to avoid water quality issues that can lead to health problems.

The Panda Thai Oranda is a stunning and relatively low-maintenance fish that will bring beauty and charm to any aquarium. With proper care, it can thrive for many years and become the centerpiece of your tropical fish display.
