Overview
What to know before you buy.
The Black Moor is a popular fancy goldfish with a velvety black color and large, protruding telescopic eyes. Their poor eyesight and slower swimming speed mean they should be kept with other slow-moving fancy goldfish. Care must be taken to ensure the tank has no sharp decor that could injure their delicate eyes.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Black Moor Goldfish healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Size the aquarium to Black Moor Goldfish's adult size and activity level. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6.5–8 and 18–23°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful. Keep it in a group for natural behaviour.
Tankmates
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding
Breeding success with Black Moor Goldfish depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
