Goldfishes

/ˈɡoʊldfɪʃɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of goldfish; small, brightly colored ornamental fish popular as pets, native to East Asia.

Etymology

From 'gold' plus 'fish,' referring to the fish's characteristic golden-orange color. Goldfish were domesticated in China centuries ago and the name literally describes their appearance.

Kelly Says

Goldfish are one of the few animals where the common name perfectly captures what they look like—but did you know they can live 10-20 years in proper conditions? That 'three-second memory' thing is a myth!
