Goldfish VarietiesFamily: Cyprinidae Assorted Goldfish Carassius auratus Photo © Animal-World Dr. Jungle says: "The average lifespan of the common goldfish is over 20 years and some have been known to live 32 years."Goldfish are one of the all-time favorites of fishkeepers everywhere. They are colorful, hardy, and fun to watch! Goldfish are also one of the first aquatic animals to be kept as pets in recorded history!The goldfish available in pet stores today are descendants of wild carp fish originally from southern China. Although they originated in China, several hundred years ago Japan began to develop them into the wonderful colors and forms we see today. Goldfish are a cold water fish and will do best at temperatures between 18°-22° C (65°-72° F) although some of the hardier species such as Common goldfish, Comets, Moors or Shubunkins can tolerate temperatures a few degrees above freezing!Many people try to keep goldfish in small one or two gallon bowls with no heater or filtration. But for the best success in keeping goldfish, provide them the same filtration, especially biological filtration, that other aquarium residents enjoy. Click on the small images or names below
