Sarasa (Comet) Goldfish

Comets, like all species of regular goldfish, are not found in the wild environment. That’s because these fish are artificial! Goldfish originated in China, having been selectively bred during the Tang dynasty to create a brightly colored, ornamental pond fish. From there, the fish were traded with Japan and later in the US and Europe.

Comet goldfish thrive best in a pond.
