Each fish is a surprise, drawn from a rotating mix of varieties and colour morphs, meaning no two orders are exactly alike. Whether you end up with a sleek Common Goldfish, a flowing Fantail, or something in between, every fish in our assorted selection is healthy, vibrant, and ready to become a long-term companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGoldfish are one of the oldest domesticated fish in the world, with a history of selective breeding stretching back over a thousand years in China. Today they come in an extraordinary range of shapes, sizes, and colours — and our assorted selection celebrates that diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Important Note on Goldfish Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGoldfish are frequently misunderstood as low-maintenance, bowl-dwelling fish. In reality, they are large, long-lived, and produce significant waste — they deserve and thrive in proper aquarium or pond setups with good filtration and regular water changes. Given the right conditions, goldfish can live for 10–15 years or more and grow to impressive sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssorted Goldfish Care Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eScientific name: Carassius auratus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAdult size: 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) depending on variety and environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMinimum tank size: 20 gallons for the first fish, plus 10 gallons per additional fish — larger is always better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePond keeping is ideal for long term care and maximum growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTemperature: 65–72°F (18–22°C) — coldwater fish that do not require a heater in most Canadian homes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003epH: 7.0–8.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStrong filtration essential — goldfish are heavy waste producers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLifespan: 10–15 years or more with good care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGoldfish Tank Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA spacious tank or pond with strong filtration, regular water changes, and good oxygenation is the foundation of healthy goldfish keeping. Sand or smooth gravel substrate works well, and the tank should have open swimming space as well as some décor or planting for enrichment. Hardy plants such as Anubias, Java Fern, and Vallisneria can work well, though goldfish may nibble on softer leaved varieties. Avoid sharp decorations that could damage their fins and scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding Your Goldfish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOmnivores and enthusiastic eaters.

Frozen or live foods such as bloodworm, brine shrimp, and daphnia are relished as treats.
