The thing about goldfish is they are actually available in a range of colours, and not just gold. If you take a look at the many varieties of goldfish available to buy as a pet, there is quite a selection. Once you have purchased the goldfish you can make use of online pet stores which offer a number of interesting accessories as well as supplying its stock of food to keep your fish healthy.
