1879 Artificial Bred Fishes Ornamental Pond Ponds Species Spots Spotted Tench Tinca Schlei

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1870s, showcases the stunning beauty of the Golden Tench or Schlei (Tinca tinca var. auraria), an ornamental variety of the common tench native to Europe. The tench is a popular species among fish enthusiasts for its vibrant golden-yellow coloration, contrasting with the distinctive black spots covering its body. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian era, a period of great fascination with nature and the natural world. The Golden Tench was a prized addition to ornamental ponds, adding a touch of elegance and allure to private estates and public gardens. The fish in this photograph appears to be artificially bred, as evidenced by its intensely golden coloration, a trait not commonly found in wild tench. The process of selective breeding was a popular pastime among hobbyists during this time, leading to the creation of various ornamental fish varieties. The Golden Tench, with its historical significance and natural charm, continues to be a beloved species among fishkeepers and nature enthusiasts. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of fishkeeping and the enduring allure of the natural world, even as we continue to explore and discover new wonders in the depths of our ponds and waters.
