Goldfish really come from china
Where does goldfish really come from? Many experts claimed that this goldfish originated comes from China. It was agreed by all ornamental fish experts over the world. No expert denies this argument until today.
Based on chromosome studies, there is one species of fish found in China that is still closely related to goldfish. It is crucian carp. The body form of crucian carp is similar to carp fish which cultured by many people in Indonesia. The difference is in the tentacles (mustache). Crucian carp does not have a pair of tentacles (mustache) on it's mouth, while goldfish have one.
Experts claimed that this crucian carp is the actual goldfish, while goldfiish in Indonesia was actually carp fish as we all know. Naming of goldfish to carp is common in Java , especially in East Java.
Based on the existence of the chromosome linkage, experts believe that carp crucian is the origin of goldfish. If there is no similarity in the form between goldfish and crusian carp today, this because of the occurrence of mutation and cross breeding between their offsprings .
As an ornamental aquarium fish, goldfish is very famous worldwide, especially in China, Japan, America and Europe.
