Generally, goldfish have an elongated, stocky, football-shaped body. They have a long dorsal fin (with 15-21 fin rays), and a forked tail fin.

The reason the goldfish motif is so popular is because it symbolizes prosperity, improved fortune, being blessed with children (in Japan children are called kodakara, child treasures), household harmony and the accumulation of wealth. Goldfish are usually either black or red.
