🐟 Black Moor Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
A Deep, Velvety Black Body • Big, Bold Telescope Eyes • A Classic, Dramatic Fancy Goldfish
📋 The Black Moor Goldfish carries a deep, velvety jet-black body, big, bold telescope eyes and a long, flowing double tail, giving it a dramatic, elegant look that stands out in any tank. It's one of the most popular and recognisable fancy goldfish, and its rich black colour makes a stunning contrast with brightly coloured goldfish.
It's a captive-bred fancy goldfish, developed in China. Every Black Moor Goldfish we ship is feeding well.
This is a gentle, peaceful, friendly fish that glides gracefully around the tank and quickly learns to come to the front at feeding time. It's best kept with other slow-moving fancy goldfish in a smooth, soft-decorated tank that protects its eyes, and it grows up to 20cm, so a 100L tank suits it well.
