Fish breeding is continuing from thousands of years and people did it for numerous reasons.
The Sumerians kept food fish (probably eels) alive in ponds as long ago as 4,500 years. More than 1,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered that the common goldfish, Carassius auratus, that they raised in ponds for food, sometimes developed offspring that were different in color. The natural goldfish is a drab olive green color. When these people noticed that a few of their fish had spots of gold color on their scales, they kept them alive rather than eat them. Sometime before the beginning of the Tang Dynasty (618 a.d.), selective breeding of these fish resulted in some pure gold-colored specimens. As time went on, additional selective breeding developed fish that had multicolored bodies, long-flowing fins, and extraordinary-looking eyes. During the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1622 a.d.), goldfish became household pets by being kept in porcelain bowls rather than outdoors in ponds. It was at this time that these goldfish were traded throughout the Far East, including Japan. The first goldfish arrived in the Western world around 1700.
