Goldfish are descendants of the crucian carp, and there are over 200 varieties of the colorful fish. Beginner aquarists often overlook the fish because they’re not as elegant or exciting as other species.

Regardless of their unrefined reputation, goldfish are fascinating creatures that deserve the same treatment as other “fancy” fish....

While cats are well known for not being big water drinkers, they would never choose to forego water completely....
