Overview: The Telescope Butterfly Moor Goldfish is a stunning variety of fancy goldfish known for its large, bulging eyes and elegant, flowing fins. Their distinctive black color, which may fade to orange as they age, along with their unique fin structure, makes them a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium.
Origin: This breed has its roots in Asia and has been selectively bred over the years for its unique physical traits. They are a result of careful breeding practices that emphasize their eye-catching appearance.
Feeding: These goldfish are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet. High-quality goldfish pellets or flakes should form the basis of their diet, supplemented with fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and blanched vegetables.
Tank Mates: Being peaceful and slow-moving, Telescope Butterfly Moor Goldfish do best with other non-aggressive fish that won’t outcompete them for food or nip at their fins. Suitable tank mates include other fancy goldfish varieties, small peaceful barbs, and non-nippy tetras.
Aggression: This variety is notably docile and gets along well in a community setting with similar-sized and temperament species. They should not be housed with aggressive or very active fish.
