Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are small ornamental freshwater fish that are commonly kept as pets. Goldfish were one of the earliest breeds of fish to be domesticated and are still one of the most commonly kept fish in aquariums and outdoor water gardens.
Do you know some species of goldfish can survive temperatures as low as two degrees Celcius? Read more to find out more unusual facts.
1.Fish don't urinate. But don't mistake them for creatures that are cleaner than cats as they poop a lot more than cats. And don't you put them under the
same roof! (result: cat feast)
2.Fish can hear. You may not know this as they might ignore you when they shout. That's because they don't care about anything else but food. If you call them regularly just before you feed them, they will soon learn that the call means a word no other than food.
3.There are more than 500 species around the world. All the thanks to the Chinese who bred them and managed to bring up more species ever since they started caring for goldfish. (Thanks China!)
4.Some goldfish can go up to 100km/h while some can only go at 2km/h
5.The average goldfish can live for 10 - 20 years. But if you can give them their needs and wants, you may as well have them living to 30 yrs old. But the oldest goldfish ever lived was named Tish and died at the age of 41!
