What is a Goldfish?
Goldfish are small, colorful fish that are often kept as pets in bowls, ponds, and aquariums. They were first bred in China over a thousand years ago and have since become one of the most popular fish in the world. Goldfish are calm, friendly, and fun to watch as they swim and explore their watery homes.
Most goldfish live 5 to 10 years, though some can live much longer. They usually grow to about 6 inches (15 centimeters), but in large ponds, they can reach over a foot long. Their smooth, shiny scales and graceful tails make them beautiful and relaxing to look at.
Goldfish don’t make sounds, but they recognize their owners and may swim up to say hello. They eat fish flakes, veggies, and small insects, and they love clean water. These gentle swimmers are peaceful pets that bring a splash of color and calm wherever they live.
