Goldfish as ornamental fish, come in a variety of shapes and sizes, of which the black moor is one.
White spots on a black moor goldfish could be caused by a parasitic infection called ich, which is common in aquarium fish. It is important to treat the fish promptly to prevent further spread of the infection.
Goldfish are opportunistic omnivores and will eat whatever they can. This may include a much smaller fish or a deceased fish.
a black moor can eat goldfish flakes and i know is because i have one:-)
There is a popular bred of goldfish called a black moor. It has an egg shaped body, has protruding globe like eyes and is black in color.
If it is a young fish it is just getting its colours. They are all (uncoloured) ie. blackish, brownish, greyish, as youngsters.
Black moor fish mix well with other fancy goldfish, but as black moors have poor vision they would be better with other poor vision fish like telescope goldfish or bubble eye as not to have to compete for food finding.
Broadtail Moors are in the goldfish family and coldwater fish. They are bred in China.
A Black Moor goldfish needs an aquarium of at least 30 gallons if they are going to thrive. This is because goldfish are essentially pond fish, so they need plenty of space to swim around. A tank smaller than 30 gallons will lead to an overall unhappy, unhealthy pet.
A black moor and a comet goldfish can readily mate together. I have successfully bred them myself in a 60litre tank. However if you are expecting fancy goldfish you may be disappointed. The genes for the black moor are recessive, which means the majority of your fish will be normal goldfish. Most of my youngsters have not yet changed colour yet so I am still waiting to see whether they will all be gold, or whether I will get some black colouration. good luck!!
it will live
yes, yes they do. i have had a single common goldfish living in my fish tank for about a year now and have introduced 3 black moor goldfish into the tank , its been about 2 weeks now and their getting along absolutely fine. they are just the same as normal goldfish, just look different and different colour, but theyre behaviour is more or less the same. so nothing to worry about, enjoy your little guys :-)
None, goldfish should only be housed with other goldfish.
