goldfish are descended from a wild carp very similar to the Prussian and Crucian Carp, which still exist today!

the wild ancestors of goldfish were silver grey, about a foot long, and apparently DELICIOUS.

but once in a while, a rare genetic mutation would cause one of these carp to be born bright orange, and goldfish were created by taking these beautiful mutants and breeding an entire new strain from them!
