Goldfish are a kind of freshwater fish that was bred to be a pet. There is no such thing as a wild goldfish. Goldfish were descended from a kind of carp, and they were specially picked for their yellow and orange color.
Goldfish are the most popular pet fish, and are very commonly found in ponds in people's yards and in fish tanks in people's houses.
