It was why the early Japanese first chose to keep goldfish in garden ponds at the front entrance to their house and why they still do today. It was a way of relieving the stress of the days work, coming home and noticing the first thing being a beautiful school of goldfish swimming elegantly on either side of the front steps, helped to relieve the magnitude of stress and anxiety.

The Modern Pond

Today we still see the benefits of this wonderful stress relieving technique, yet we choose not to keep out goldfish in outside ponds, but instead inside our home in tanks, bowls and aquariums.

Well you would be pretty lucky to buy the BEST goldfish in the world! I mean how do you even tell what a good looking goldfish looks like? When you’re down at the pet store next time, how do you decide which fish is worth purchasing and which is not?

What Breed Are You After?

The first thing you have to do is work out what type of goldfish would best suit your circumstances! Are you planning to keep your fish indoors or outdoors? This will play a huge role in your overall decision. There are many breeds that are not suited for life outdoors and at the same time, there are breeds that survive and grow larger in an outdoor pond environment as opposed to living in an aquarium or other kind of tank!
