Common goldfish (Carassius auratus)

Hardy cold-water fish, ideal for beginners

The goldfish (Carassius auratus) is one of the most popular cold-water fish species. Easy to keep and very sociable, it is perfectly suited to family aquariums or small outdoor ponds.

Behaviour and care

It is a peaceful, schooling and curious fish. It enjoys living in a group (at least 2 to 3 individuals) in a spacious aquarium of at least 60 L per fish. Avoid tanks that are too small or fish bowls, which are detrimental to its well-being.

For more information on care, see our guide: Goldfish care guide.

Diet

The goldfish is omnivorous: it enjoys flakes, pellets and fresh foods. We recommend varying its diet to maintain vivid colours and good digestive health.

Avoid very delicate plants that it could uproot.
