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.

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.
