  • Goldfish Morphology As a Model for Evolutionary Developmental Biology
    Overview Goldfish morphology as a model for evolutionary developmental biology Kinya G. Ota* and Gembu Abe Morphological variation of the goldfish is known to have been established by artificial selection for ornamental purposes during the domestication process. Chinese texts that date to the Song dynasty contain descriptions of goldfish breeding for ornamental purposes, indicating that the practice originated over one thousand years ago. Such a well-documented goldfish breeding process, combined with the phylogenetic and embryological proximities of this species with zebrafish, would appear to make the morphologically diverse goldfish strains suitable models for evolutionary developmental (evodevo) studies. How- ever, few modern evodevo studies of goldfish have been conducted. In this review, we provide an overview of the historical background of goldfish breed- ing, and the differences between this teleost and zebrafish from an evolutionary perspective. We also summarize recent progress in the field of molecular devel- opmental genetics, with a particular focus on the twin-tail goldfish morphology. Furthermore, we discuss unanswered questions relating to the evolution of the genome, developmental robustness, and morphologies in the goldfish lineage, with the goal of blazing a path toward an evodevo study paradigm using this tel- eost species as a new model species. © 2016 The Authors.

  • GFSA – Ask the Judges
    GFSA – Ask the Judges The judges selected for this series of articles are Larry Christensen, Peter Ponzio, and Scott Taylor. We will have guest judges occasionally assist in judging specific varieties. Each of these judges has had years of experience in the goldfish hobby, and have acted as judges and breeders of goldfish. A new breed with new fish will be presented each issue, and the judges will rank the fish and provide commentary for their selections. For the first several articles, we will present pictures of fish from various magazines and books which represent high quality fish for the breed in question. Eventually, we hope that breeders and dealers will send in photographs, so that we can present new varieties to review. Each judge will assign a rating of 1 – 5, with 5 being the highest rating and 1 being the lowest rating. The results will be tallied and presented in a table at the end of the article. With the ubiquity of the personal computer, you’d think it would be easier to coordinate the submissions for the article. We actually get the articles from the judges, but at different times. This month we have Tony Reynolds and John Parker helping for us, with Larry taking a few months off. In this month’s column, we will look at Ranchus. The Ranchu is a fish developed in Japan, originally from Chinese Lionhead stock. Beginning collectors often have a difficult time distinguishing between Ranchus and Lionheads. This is understandable, since these two fish are closely related. The current article, will, we hope, help to eliminate some of the confusion.

  • TOP-VIEW GOLDFISH: the OTHER PERSPECTIVE Steve Hopkins
    TOP-VIEW GOLDFISH: THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE Steve Hopkins By some accounts, there are over three hundred varieties of goldfish. These can be grouped in various ways such as by tail type, presence or absence of head growth, presence or absence of dorsal fin, eye shape, etc. They can also be grouped based on a whether they were bred and selected to be viewed from the top or viewed from the side. Originally, all goldfish were kept in shallow ponds, ceramic bowls or other containers and viewed from the top. Considering the thousand-year history of goldfish keeping, the glass aquarium is a relatively new innovation which did not come into use until about 150 years ago. However, being able to easily view goldfish from the side through glass has undoubtedly influenced what characteristics are selected for and impacted the development of new varieties. Today, the goldfish hobbyists are a diverse group. While most goldfish are destined for the home aquarium and represent an indoor diversion, goldfish ponds, tubs and goldfish in the water garden continue to increase in popularity. When choosing a goldfish, it is important to consider how it will be viewed and select a variety which is appropriate for the setting in which it will be displayed. In selecting a top-view goldfish, remember that they are typically seen against a dark background. It does not matter what color your tub or pond was when it was new, over time the surfaces will become covered with algae and other growth and appear dark green to black. Without doubt, red and white metallic-scale goldfish provide the contrast to display best against a dark background.

The North East Goldfish Keepers Open Show 2015 Just half a mile from the Sunderland sea front and its Seaside Promenade is the Redby Community Centre. The North East Goldfish Society members all meet there for the annual Open Show (the 15th year too) and compete for their 25 Classes of Fancy Goldfish. This year (Sunday July 19th 2015) they invited 8 Nationwide Judges, selected from the other three members of the Nationwide Group: Northern Goldfish & Pondkeepers Society, Association of Midland Goldfish Keepers and Bristol Aquarist Society (NGPS, AMGK, BAS). Each variety has its own Nationwide Standard and the judges chose the First, Second and Third in all 25 Classes, but in addition the NEGS present a trophy for the 'Best in Show', 'Best Owner's Bred' and 'Best NEGS Member' and the 'Highest Pointed Competitor'. The Best in Show was a London Shubunkin by Alan Ratcliffe of the NGPS (and NEGS). Alan (left) receives his awards from Dennis Godfrey, Chairman of NEGS. 'Best Owner Bred' was won by Alan too. The 'Best Fish by NEGS member' was won by David Padfield and the 'Highest Pointed Competitor' was Sherridan. Dean receives a First too. The Judges were wined and dined after their work….

  • Fancy Goldfish
    Fancy Goldfish The term "Fancy” refers to goldfish that have been specifically bred to enhance certain colours, patterns and or body characteristics when compared with more orthodox or simply shaped goldfish, such as the comet. They are extremely popular with many enthusiasts as they offer some of the most unique and interesting coldwater fish available. As outlined below these fancy goldfish include; celestials, lionheads, pearlscales and orandas to mention just a few. Even though they exhibit many different colour patterns and body characteristics, they are all the one species, Carassius auratus. The domesticated dog Canis lupus familiaris is another great example of this, with a large amount of diversity all originating from the same species. The ancient Chinese kept goldfish some 1600 years ago. The original wild and drab coloured fish were selectively bred to enhance the fishes colour and finage, a practise continuing to this day. Over time breeders have developed many types of unusual or fancy goldfish. While fancy goldfish have the same water quality requirements as standard goldfish, such as comets and fantails, they are generally more sensitive to water quality fluctuations and require regular aquarium maintenance to ensure they remain in good health. Fancy goldfish are more susceptible to suffering from vitamin deficiencies when compared with standard varieties, so it is recommend to include vegetable based foods in their diet. Aquarium Industries Naturals Range Frozen Leafy Spinach is ideal, as it also includes essential vitamins and minerals. Aquatic plants are also a good addition. Common Fancy Varieties Orandas Ranchus Body short and globular. Fins well developed and long.

  • Basic Goldfish Terms & Concepts
    Goldfish Varieties – Odds & Ends By Peter J. Ponzio In the original article for this series, we defined a number of characteristics common to all goldfish, and introduced the concept of goldfish varieties, or different types of goldfish. Each subsequent article would provide detailed guidelines to appreciate and understand the characteristics of each variety recognized by the Goldfish Society of America (GFSA). Line Art for the GFSA standards has been provided courtesy of Merlin Cunliffe. The prior articles of this series covered all the varieties recognized by the GFSA, and now the American Goldfish Association (AGA). Goldfish are quite variable, however, and new combinations of fish are being introduced constantly. Some of these combinations will not catch-on to become established varieties, while others languish because they are not regularly seen in this country. In terms of classification at goldfish shows, most of these fish are placed in the “Other” category, and do well in that grouping. In order for these fish to win major awards, they must be quite exceptional in order to place before the traditional varieties of goldfish. We’ll divide this article up into varieties that are established, but not frequently seen in the U.S., and varieties which are truly new combinations of features, some of which might catch-on and others which might be viewed as one-off attempts at a new variety. Most new types of goldfish originate in China, and more recently, in Thailand. The Chinese seem to enjoy combining various goldfish characteristics in new patterns, mixing dorsal fins on fish that we consider dorsal-less, or adding head-growth and eye characteristics on one fish.

  • 1 Goldfish Varieties – Ryukin by Peter J. Ponzio in the Original Article For
    Goldfish Varieties – Ryukin By Peter J. Ponzio In the original article for this series, we defined a number of characteristics common to all goldfish, and introduced the concept of goldfish varieties, or different types of goldfish. Each subsequent article would provide detailed guidelines to appreciate and understand the characteristics of each variety recognized by the Goldfish Society of America (GFSA). Line Art for the GFSA standards has been provided courtesy of Merlin Cunliffe. In the prior article, we discussed the fantail goldfish, which developed as a result of a natural mutation from the original single-tail varieties. The fantail was subsequently bred to achieve consistent tail separation, a deeper body structure, and elongated fins. Gradually, different color types were developed, and the fantail, as we know it, was finally stabilized. The Ryukin is probably a development from the fantail goldfish and was selectively bred to emphasize the unique characteristics of this variety. Development of the Ryukin occurred in the Far East, with claims being made for its development both in China and Japan. For our purpose, it is not essential to identify the exact locus of development, but rather to acknowledge the dedication of the fish farmers who stabilized this variety in the Far East. The Ryukin is a double-tail goldfish, which possesses an oval body shape, which is almost round, and paired anal, ventral and pectoral fins. The dorsal fin is usually 1/3 the depth of the body, and the caudal fin, which is forked, is from ¾ to 1-1/2 times the length of the body.

    Pond Department Fish Tips 1. Don’t overstock your pond! Without adding excess filtration and maintenance headaches, the arguable rule of thumb is 5 gallons per inch of fish for a maximum load. This equates to approximately 150 gallons for Koi and 40-60 gallons for smaller fish like Comets and Shubunkin. Donate or sell your unwanted babies. Save spending money on dozens and dozens of smaller fish and use it on some nice large ones instead. 2. Koi are living art. Consider your choices in breeds and colors to compliment your surrounding landscape and home. Think of them as a moving painting or sculpture. 3. Fish are social creatures, always buy and introduce them into your ponds in quantities of two to three of the same types. 4. If you introduce too many fish into your pond at once, you may cause undue stress on the ecosystem AND the fish! Ammonia spikes are a common result. Introduce your fish one to two weeks apart 5. Can’t accommodate the mature growth of koi in your little pond? Consider more exotic breeds of goldfish for the more interesting fish in a pond. Oranda, Ranchu and Ryukin are a few good eye-catchers to go with your run-of-the-mill Comets and Shubunkin. 6. Gambusias, better known as mosquito fish, are a great and cheap way to control mosquitoes in your water garden or ecosystem pond. Also try mosquito dunks. 7. If you leave room in your budget for larger Koi (12-16”) you won’t believe what those fish will do to string algae.

  • FL 57. Care of Goldfish
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE BUREAU OF SPORT FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE Branch of Fish Hatcheries Leaflet FL- 57 Washington 25, D. C. Revised February 1962 CARE OF GOLDFISH HISTlW- Though now found in almost every country in the world, i n captivity and out, the goldfish, Carassius auratus, originated in easter n China as a red mutation of a normally greenish-silvery fish closely rel a ted to and generally resembling the carp. With the carp and many other smaller freshwater fishes including the "barbs" so well-known to t ropical fiSh hobbyists, the goldfish belongs to the great family Cyprinida e which, oddly enough, is found much more abundantly in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern. Xanthic, or orange, color mutations occasionally occur among a variety of wild fishes including the carp its elf, but a s i n the case of albinos , or pure white fishes, these do not oft en live to reproduce their kind under natural conditions, since t heir conspicuous appearance makes them easy t argets for predat ors. In captivity, on the other hand, goldfishes have been bred for many centuries and, by t aking advantage of certain additional mutations of a hereditary character, the breeders have produced a number of odd and colorful varieties , i ncl uding some with odd scales, double tails and fins, no s cales at all, or with certain fins missing altogether, shortened backbones , and enlarged eyes. Though known in the Orient for centuries, the goldfish is a com­ paratively recent arriv ~ l to the western world.
