Goldfish Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Goldfish as Pet Fish The Goldfish (scientifically known as Carassius Auratus) is a freshwater fish in the Cyprinidae family. It is not common knowledge but the goldfish comes from the same family as the Koi Carp and the Curcian Carp! The goldfish is native to east Asia and was first domesticated in China over one thousand years ago! Goldfish breeds vary greatly in body shape, fin shape and configuration, body size and coloration (various combinations of white, red, orange, yellow, brown and black are common). The gold fish is unarguably one of the most popular fish species to be kept in a home aquarium. Here at Fish Care Manuals we are passionate about fish care. As a brand we have a strong idea of what makes up a good fish care book.
