Since goldfish is a smaller version of a carp, the first recorded versions are as far back as the Jin Dynasty (265-420). They were introduced to Europe around 1620, and North America around 1850.

Although we know that the goldfish species is native to China, there are very few clues to tell us when it was first domesticated. One thing is certain: while the history of goldfish development may appear quite disjointed and uncertain, no other fish has a pedigree dating back for over one thousand years.
