Who discovered goldfish?
Goldfish were actually bred by humans to begin with. In ancient Japan (some say China) people found carp that were a brighter yellow color, and started breeding them together for many generations. Eventually they discovered that these newer fish had a more brilliant color. At that time, only royal people were allowed to keep Goldfish. The goldfish bred today are in many different colors, but they are all descendants of the Asia-bred carp. Japan and China still have a lead in goldfish breeding, and their koi look more refined and different from the koi bred here. The goldfish was bred and not discovered, and this is shown when a goldfish is left in the wild for a few years. A few generations of wild goldfish will produce olive-colored fish rather than the brilliant goldfish that serve as pets. You could say that the Japanese bred/discovered them. Some say it was the Chinese.
Will a grey goldfish eventually turn orange?
Goldfish can lose their orange color due to light deficiency or dietary deficiencies. In these cases, the color change is often reversible.
Are guppies endangered?
Goldfish are very delicate and often cannot survive in the wild, but they are not endangered. Since Goldfish do not appear in the wild naturally and are a result of selective breeding, there is currently a good supply of Goldfish. Goldfish breeding is an industry itself that regularly produces rare and expensive fish. If Goldfish breeding were to stop, however, Goldfish would maybe become endangered. They would not die out completely but they would not be goldfish as we know them. After a few generations in the wild, goldfish revert back to their dark greenish brown scale color and begin to resemble the less delicate carp that are more fitted to survive. Some less durable types of goldfish would die out completely. Rest assured, our favorite fish is nowhere near endangered. It simply needs constant care and attention to stay that way.
