Goldfish
The goldfish is a domesticated carp native to China. Goldfish can weigh 10 lbs however those that
are domesticated are quite small, rarely growing larger then 7 cm. The original, wild carp is green to
brown in colour, however on occasion a rare red or orange carp would appear. These rare individuals
were bred by the Chinese as far back as 960AD. By the 1500s they were introduced to Japan and finally introduced to
America by the mid 1800s. MORE!
