Real-world information
The Carassius carassius is a fish of the Carp family. It's a freshwater fish, part of the common carp family Cyprinidae, and it's the type species to the main Carassius genus of carps. In which other carps tend to also be often referred as "crucian carps". This fish is spread through the north of Europe and it's known to be a heavily farmed fish worldwide. It's also used as food, being included amongst the holiday foods in Poland, and in Hungarian, Greek, and Chinese cuisine.
Crucian Carps are also kept as pets in bigger aquariums and water gardens, but they aren't as common to obtain commercially as other attractive fish such as the Koi and the Goldfish itself. Some resources even state that the Goldfish (Carassius auratus) could be a cultivated breed of Crucian Carp taken from the wild, and these two fishes had been successfully breeded in lab conditions, leading to an enhanced hybrid between the two but with most being sterile.
Its name derives from the Low German karusse or karutze, possibly from Medieval Latin "coracinus" which means "a kind of river fish". In Japanese "Funa" (フナ) refers to both the fish and the genus. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
