Goldfish Facts

If you keep a goldfish in the dark, it will eventually turn white

On some poorly researched trivia lists it is stated as a fact that a pregnant goldfish is called a twit. This is not true as goldfish lay eggs.

The lifespan of the common goldfish is over 20 years!

Goldfish lose their color if kept in dim light or placed in running water like a stream. Their pigmentation depends on light exposure and calm, stable environments.
