Goldfish

A goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a small, freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae, which also includes carps. They are one of the most common and oldest domesticated fish in the world, often kept as a pet. 🐟

Goldfish have a compact, oval-shaped body with a streamlined head and a forked tail. They are typically a bright golden-orange color, but they can also be white, black, red, or a combination of these colors. They have large eyes and a pair of pectoral fins and pelvic fins.

Goldfish are native to eastern Asia, but due to their popularity as a pet, they can now be found in freshwater habitats all over the world. They are omnivores and their diet in the wild consists of a variety of small insects, crustaceans, and plant matter.

Goldfish are a shoaling species, meaning they live in groups. They are known for their calm and peaceful demeanor and are a common addition to home aquariums. They are also known to have a good memory and can learn to recognize their owners and respond to feeding cues.
