Goldfishes have been kept in captivity longer than any other fishes, and many varieties developed from the one original species, Carassius auratis, remain popular. This article is devoted to single-tailed varieties - hardy fishes that can over-winter outdoors. Their cultivation is generally limited to developing exaggerated fins and various color strains.
