Goldfish

The goldfish is one of the smallest fish. It can be found in the river. It has a tiny shadow and is about 15 cm (6 inches) long. It sells for the relatively hish price of 1300 Bells. It, being such a small river fish, appears in the 1st tank (ACWW) and the left tube tank (ACCF) when donated to the museum. The ACCF fish encyclopedia says: "Selectively bred crucian carp, the majority of these were the result of mutations."
