Species Overview

Common Goldfish

The goldfish was one of the first fish to be domesticated, with selective breeding in China dating back over 1,000 years. Despite common misconceptions, goldfish can live 10-15 years with proper care and require far more space than a small bowl.

Largemouth Bass

The largemouth bass is the most popular freshwater game fish in North America. Known for explosive topwater strikes and powerful runs, it inhabits warm lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers with abundant cover.
