What is a "goldfish"?

Goldfish is a popular freshwater fish species known for its vibrant colors and distinctive appearance. These small, ornamental fish have been bred for centuries, resulting in a wide range of color variations and unique characteristics. Goldfish are typically characterized by their bright orange, red, or yellow scales, rounded bodies, and flowing fins. They are commonly kept as pets in home aquariums due to their manageable size and ease of care. Goldfish have a peaceful nature and are known for their graceful swimming movements. While they can tolerate a variety of water conditions, they thrive in well-maintained aquariums with adequate space and appropriate filtration. Goldfish are omnivorous, feeding on a combination of commercial fish food, live or frozen food, and plant matter. They have a relatively long lifespan and can live for several years with proper care. Goldfish are not only cherished for their beauty but also serve as a symbol of tranquility and aesthetic pleasure in the world of fish keeping.
