Overview
What to know before you buy.
The Telescope Eye Goldfish, which includes the Black Moor, is any fancy goldfish with protruding eyes. They come in many colors and have poor vision, making them slower to find food. They must be kept in an aquarium with no sharp decor and with other slow-moving fancy goldfish to ensure their safety and well-being.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Telescope Eye Goldfish healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Size the aquarium to Telescope Eye 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 Telescope Eye Goldfish depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
