Description
The Black Moor Goldfish is a popular fancy goldfish variety characterized by its distinctive protruding, telescopic eyes and velvety black coloration. They are slow-moving and generally peaceful, making them suitable for tanks with other slow-moving fancy goldfish. Their unique eyes can impair vision, requiring careful tank setup and tankmate selection.
