Abstract The aim of this project is to determine whether or not colour really does affect the lifespan of a goldfish. I will be gathering raw data from the raising of 6 individual goldfish (3 black & 3 orange) that all lived in the exact same aquarium environment. I can then convert this data into graphs and charts to better understand the trends and have a more overall view of the experiment. These results may help to improve colour and breeding strategies of many goldfish species.
