The goldfish is one of the most recognizable fish on Earth, but its true story goes far beyond the aquarium.

In this Fish Planet documentary, discover the incredible history of the goldfish, Carassius auratus, from its origins in ancient China to more than 1,000 years of selective breeding.

Learn how humans transformed wild fish into the extraordinary varieties we know today, and explore the goldfish’s biology, diet, reproduction, lifespan, potential size, behavior, and ability to survive in very different environments.

We also explore what can happen when goldfish are released into the wild, why they can become a problem in freshwater ecosystems, and why the traditional goldfish bowl does not meet the real needs of this remarkable animal.

The goldfish may look familiar, but its story is anything but ordinary.

Welcome to Fish Planet — where every fish has a story.
