the gold kind??
A gold fish is the result of a 1000 years of domesticating by the Chinese mainly during the tang dynasty of the Prussian carp carp which can only be found in China, and are still the goldfish closest relatives. All goldfish are in the family cyprinidae commonly known as the carp family, which en-composes carp, koi, goldfish, the true minnow, and barbs. It is the largest Freshwater Fish family containing over 2,400 species. There are over 200 different types of goldfish alone, due to the lucrative aquarium hobby.

What is the differences from a goldfish and a feeder fish?

a goldfish is a feeder fish. I kind of disagree with the answer above. Yes, goldfish CAN be feeder fish, but they aren't necessarily feeder fish. Feeder fish are really fish that are rather small and are fed to other animals, and that are for some reason thought as not being as precious as other "pet" fish. So a feeder fish and a pet fish are two different kinds of fish, really. Not all goldfish are feeder fish. There are expensive goldfish, more than 10 dollars per fish! Then there are those goldfish breeded to be eaten that are sold as 75 cents per fish. So there are "pet" goldfish and "feeder" goldfish. So, a goldfish is not necessarily a feeder fish.
