Depending on how old, happy and healthy your fish is, you can sell your fish for up to 8 $.

Trivia
Goldfish are group fish and have to be along with 4 or more other goldfishes. But be careful when your Goldfishes are almost starving. They will attack smaller and younger Goldfishes and eat them.

This fish does not need any decoration, although he loves any decoration.

When a male and female goldfish are happy, you can start breeding baby fish. For that, you have to take care that the water temperature is around spring temperature and you have enough space in your fish tank. Your fish need to be older than 2 years. It takes around one month for the babies to hatch.

Goldfish are called "gold fish" because of their colour - nevertheless they are orange. Some hundreds of years ago in China, goldfish were bred in an actually gold variant and were called "goldfish". But the colour was restricted to be used by the Emperor of China. Other people had to breed them into a different colour variation. Most people decided for an orange variation, which soon became the dominant variation, albeit their name never changed.
