Goldfish
"The Goldfish, Carassius auratus, was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated, and is still one of the most commonly kept
aquarium fish and water garden fish. A relatively small member of the carp family, the goldfish is a domesticated version of a
dark-gray/brown carp native to East Asia. It was first domesticated in China and introduced to Europe in the late 17th century.
Goldfish can grow to a maximum length of 23 inches (58.42 cm) and a maximum weight of 9.9 pounds (4.5 kg), although this is rare;
few goldfish reach even half this size. The oldest recorded goldfish lived to 49 years, but most household goldfish generally live only
six to eight years, due to being kept in bowls. The collective noun for a group of goldfish is a "troubling".
Selective breeding over centuries has produced several color variations, some of them far removed from the "golden" color
of the originally domesticated fish. Goldfish may also lose their "golden" color, or rather any goldfish color, by varying the
spectrum of light under which they are kept, thus causing the scales to gradually change color (e.g., black to orange). There are also
different body shapes, fin and eye configurations. Some extreme versions of the goldfish need to be kept in an aquarium - they are
much less hardy than varieties closer to the "natural" original. However, some variations are hardier, such as the Shubunkin.
The main goldfish varieties are: Black Moor, Bubble eye, Butterfly tail, Calico, Celestial eye, Comet, Common, Fantail, Lionchu,
Lionhead, Oranda, Panda Moor, Pearlscale, Pompom, Ranchu, Ryukin, Shubunkin, Telescope eye, Veiltail.
Rare varieties are: Tosakin or curly fantail goldfish, Jikin or peacock tail goldfish, Shukin, Tamasaba or sabao, Meteor goldfish,
Egg-fish goldfish, Curled-gill goldfish or reversed-gill goldfish, Mirror-scale goldfish.
The popular image of a goldfish in a small fishbowl is an enduring one. However, some countries have banned the sale of bowls of
that type under animal rights legislation due to the risk of stunting, deoxygenation and ammonia/nitrite poisoning in such a small
environment.
The supposed reputation of goldfish dying quickly is often due to poor care amongst uninformed buyers looking for a cheap
pet. The true lifespan of a well-cared-for goldfish in captivity can extend beyond 10 years.
Goldfish, like all cyprinids, lay eggs. They produce adhesive eggs that attach to aquatic vegetation. The eggs hatch within 48 to 72
hours, releasing fry large enough to be described as appearing like "an eyelash with two eyeballs". Within a week or so,
the fry begin to look more like a goldfish in shape, although it can take as much as a year before they develop a mature goldfish color;
until then they are a metallic brown like their wild ancestors. In their first weeks of existence, the fry grow remarkably fast - an adaptation
born of the high risk of getting devoured by the adult goldfish (or other fish and insects) in their environment."
