217 Words1 Page

However, that is true.

The largest goldfish in captivity is in Netherlands. The size is about 19 inches.

There are some reports of people catching super big goldfish in Lake Tahoe.

The weight of these goldfish is about four pounds. The length of these goldfish is 18 inches on record.

There is a possibility that some goldfish are 2 feet long. So far nobody knows how many goldfish are in the lake.

It is not surprising that goldfish can grow very big. Goldfish belongs to the family of carps. Carps are known as big fish.

Many hobbyists do not have the space in their tank to let the goldfish grow to this size.

  • Edward Bloom Vs Big Fish

    “Kept in a bowl, the goldfish will remain small. With more space, the fish can grow double, triple, or quadruple its size.” This phrase inspired Edward Bloom (Big Fish) to leave his hometown to explore the big city.

We haven’t found any answers to the question of why the crucian carp is large in some lakes and small in others. The only piece of good advice I can give is to talk to local anglers. They normally know in which lake you can locate large crucian carps even if they don’t fish for them.
