Lionheads, Orandas and Ranchu all have hoods, and a bumpy growth on the top of the head that can extend around the eyes and over the gill covers. How can you tell the three varieties apart? Orandas are the only one that possesses a dorsal (top) fin. Both the Lionhead and Ranchu have no top fin.
What's different between the Lionhead and the Ranchu? The back of the Ranchuthat curves sharply and points down by the time it reaches the tail.
