Lol, definitelybut I will say unfortunately ime, that's what I've seen don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty of other kind of fish live under the same conditions, not like goldfish though.
Sadly you're spot on.

Its goldfish frenzy! Not unlike the 1983 goldfish frenzy, of 83.
Is there a big difference between how the fancy goldfish are being bred vs albino oscars or platinum gars/aros
I know that albinoism is possible in the wild but not to that extent right

I know for sure that albino livebearers is super sensitive to poor quality water and some individuals are 100% blind or sterile. I had a colony of albino mosquitofish and they have a good list of health problems.
Anyone know what the common name for Carassius auratus was before they were goldfish? Like what they were called when they had wild grey coloration, can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I'd like to keep a wild coloration goldfish but would like to know what that'd be called.
I'd much rather see any and all captive fish breeding projects continue, rather than live to witness the rape of our natural waterbourne resources worldwide. All you WC obsessed fanatics are responsible for far more damage than just the poor fish that's been plucked from its wild home... You're also responsible for fueling an industry thats pillaging our waterways. Imagine just how many wild fishes die for each fish that makes it into our tanks. Our oceans and rivers are crying for more people to keep fancy goldfish instead.
I can't really agree with defects being an opinion over a fact. Just because goldfish, like most carp, can live through nearly anything, doesn't make breeding them with "fancy" traits any less rough on the fish lol. Broaden the scope past goldfish or fish in general then. I have 2 ferrets in my home as well, both specifically line-bred for their colors (cinnamon and sable). Do to this and generations of similar breeding practices, my ferrets are almost 100% guaranteed to develop either adrenal, lympathic, or pancreatic cancer. Pick any dog breed in the world for the most part and I'd be willing to bet there is some type of genetic defect due to line breeding. In my honest opinion, buying into the concept of breeding for specific traits is setting us up for failure in the long run when we develop a bond with these pets, knowing eventually something will more than likely end up taking them from us prematurely. THAT is my opinion on the subject. "Drops mic, walks out"
all about CB fish, but I don't have a problem with taking WC natives from overpopulated areas around here.
Somewhere i think you mentioned that you had a bulldog (if not you sorry) i had one as well loved that damn dog. We know the issues that can arise due to breeding in that species but it doesnt change the fact that its a great pet and companion, no difference in the love that some may have for fancy goldfish or any line bred animal.
Its a touchy subject no real right or wrong opinions
