Description I woke up in the middle of the night because I had a sudden image of perching orandas, slid out of bed and drew a nearly incomprehensible squiggle on a post-it note, which fortunately included the note "orandas on a branch" or I would have had no idea what I'd been thinking.

I did not realize what a grumpy looking little fish the oranda is, but man, they're one disgruntled little fish.

That's the image I got too. It reminded me of Dennis the Menace for some reason, though I haven't seen that movie in years.

Nothing. It's called a wen, and it's just something that was bred into the fish for decoration.

They look like eggs, almost . . . but that would be really weird.

it could also be their brain, or a fluffy orange clown wig (which is my guess)

To the best of my understanding, they're not for anything. I believe the oranda is a variety of goldfish bred for fancy looks, and the head piece is part of that.
