Thanks for the pictures.
I once had a blue oranda that I placed in my 17,000 gallon pond. She got so large it's head was about the size of my fist and when she was placed in a 5 gallon bucket her head and tail touched the sides of the bucket. She was awesome.
I have started a new oranda collection, but have very limited supply here. I have 8 new babies about 1 1/2 -2 inches long. If I can find ones with good head growth at that size they are the best you can get here. It is very rare to find a good large one here.
