Goldfish Mixed Colours (Carassius auratus)

This is the traditional, long-bodied form of the Goldfish. Unlike many fancy goldfish varieties, it grows into a large, active fish that is best suited for garden ponds or very large aquariums.

These fish are bred by Akvaariokeidas and are available in a mix of colours, including red, orange, white and patterned individuals. With proper care, goldfish can become impressive and long-lived pond fish.
