Hey everyone, years ago I used to make, as well as market epic tropical and cold water fish tanks. What an incredible hobby that is. I recently took a ride on my scooter to Safari an incredible nursery close to where I reside and they had this amazing tank with these gorgeous goldies on offer.

The goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae of order Cypriniformes. It is one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish.
A relatively small member of the carp family (which also includes the Prussian carp and the crucian carp), the goldfish is native to East Asia. It was first selectively bred in ancient China more than 1,000 years ago, and several distinct breeds have since been developed. Goldfish breeds vary greatly in size, body shape, fin configuration and coloration (various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red, brown, and black are known).
