Goldfish Varieties-Common Goldfish

True to it’s name, this breed is probably the most faithful representation of the ‘Original’ goldfish as first discovered many centuries ago. It’s shape can only be described as ordinary and ‘carp-like’ in appearance. It is most frequently found the ornamental ponds of Chinese restaurants and hotel lobbies. More frequently though, they are sold as feeder goldfish in Local Fish Stores (LFS).

The Common Goldfish as also known as the Golden Carp in the Far East and as the Hibuna in Japan. Coloration is mostly metallic (black, blue, brown, yellow, red and orange) or variegated (any combination of the main colours). This breed is hardy and is a good fish for beginners although they can be quite plain in appearance.
