Our fantail goldfish is made of solid plastic with flexible fins, and we have the same fish in six beautiful colors. See our goldfish page for our color selection. Goldfish are members of the carp family and were the first fish to be domesticated. They were first raised in China.It is the most common aquarium fish and is easy to maintain. They eat incessantly and can gorge themselves to death, so one should be careful not to overfeed them. Goldfish are often released into the wild and can grow to over a pound. They can compete for food with indigenous species and also hybridize with carp. Our plastic goldfish does not need to be fed but also should not be placed in aquariums with real goldfish. They also don't float well but make excellent display items, decorations, party favors or diorama objects. Be sure to see all of our fish toys, replicas and gifts.
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 a thousand years ago, and several distinct breeds have since been developed. Goldfish breeds vary greatly in size, body shape, fin configuration and colouration (various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red, brown, and black are known).
