The goldfish is a freshwater fish in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Doubutsu no Mori. It has a tiny shadow size, appears throughout the year at any time of day, and can be found in rivers in games prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and in ponds in New Horizons. Unlike most fish, the goldfish appears as a bag or bowl rather than a tank when placed in the player's house.

Real-world information[edit]
This goldfish is the Fantail breed. It has two fins instead of one. It has an egg shaped body, a high dorsal fin, but no shoulder hump. It is the western variation of the Ryukin breed. They do not like cold water. These, like all goldfish, are commonly kept as pets, and prefer a water temperature of 13 - 21 degrees Celsius/Centigrade.
