MRSkz Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Can anyone tell me what's the difference between a nmyphs Oranda and just an Oranda? Is there any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 i think a nymph is a deformed or hybrid fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Nymphs only have single tails. Orandas have quadruple tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carla Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 In TM speak it is a deformed fish that cannot be sold to a LFS. Often no gill covers, tail not exactly right, colour not good etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Turtle tucker. Shouldn't be sold and should have been culled when young. There is no such thing as a nymph oranda as an oranda is an oranda and a nymph is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRSkz Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 ok thank you alanmin4304 I was confused by this auction 126116271 on Trademe stating it was "A Helthy Female nmyphs Orange/black Oranda goldfish from April 2006."

alanmin4304 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 They usually have the oranda body shape but not the tail. They have reverted and if bred are likely to get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRSkz Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Thanks again, I was wondering why it was so much cheaper than the plain oranda's that trader was selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
