The much-loved Goldfish was one of the earliest fish ever to be domesticated. It is a small member of the carp family. The Goldfish pond saw its origin in the Tang Dynasty of China. It was at this time that genetic mutation of carps produced the golden or the yellowy or ange coloration on the carp. The chinese emperor exclusively maintained the first Goldfish pond, a luxury that he denied his subjects. It was a symbol breeding in captivity led to more mutations. More striking colors led to the birth of the fancy Goldfish variety.
