  • Effect of Adding Pumpkin Flour and Carrot Flour on Changes in Color Intensity of Goldfish (Carassius Auratus L.) Strain Oranda
    Available online at www.worldnewsnaturalsciences.com WNOFNS 26 (2019) 52-60 EISSN 2543-5426 Effect of Adding Pumpkin Flour and Carrot Flour on Changes in Color Intensity of Goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) Strain Oranda Rian Nur Ahlam*, Walim Lili, Herman Hamdani, Rosidah and Ibnu Bangkit Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Padjadjaran University, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Goldfish is one of the most famous ornamental fish because of its body shape and color which was interesting to be maintained. The purpose of this research was to find the optimum dose of pumpkin and carrot flour combination on artificial feed to increase color brightness of goldfish. Complete Randomized Design with four treatments and four replications were used in the experiment. For the treatments, pumpkin flour 15%, pumpkin flour 7.5% with carrot flour 2.5% and carrot flour 5%, were studied. The parameters observed were color intensity, survival rate, and water quality. The results showed that supplementation of combination of pumpkin flour 7.5% with carrot flour 2.5% gave the highest color intensity of goldfish with TCF code 0815 and score 2.11 with 100% survival rate. Water qualities during the research were still in optimal condition. Keywords: Goldfish, Color intensity, Pumpkin flour, Carrot flour, Carassius auratus 1. INTRODUCTION One of the freshwater aquarium fish which is quite popular among fans of ornamental fish is the goldfish. Goldfish has diverse body shapes and vary in colors ranging from red, yellow, green, black to goldish. Varieties of goldfish that are now scattered among the ornamental fish were recorded.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
