Hi Mariah, I hope you are enjoying Project Noah as much as the rest of us are. As a domesticated animal, the goldfish should probably go into the pet category. Habitat refers to where you found him, in this case, in a fishbowl or aquarium. Description, does not have to be a field guide type of description, but may include facts about the species in question eg, the goldfish is one of the first to be domesticated, about 1000 years ago. This variety is known as an Oranda and is distinguished by it's fluffy head adornment.
