🏡 Ideal Aquarium Setup

Black Moor Goldfish thrive in spacious, well-filtered aquariums with stable water conditions.

Provide:

- Smooth gravel or fine sand

- Strong filtration and good oxygenation

- Plenty of open swimming space

- Smooth decorations without sharp edges

- Hardy aquatic plants

- Regular water changes

Important: Their protruding telescope eyes are delicate and can be injured by sharp decorations. Black Moors also have relatively poor eyesight, so avoid keeping them with fast, aggressive fish that may outcompete them for food.

🐟 Compatible Tank Mates

Black Moor Goldfish are best kept with other peaceful, slow-swimming fancy goldfish, including:

- Fantail Goldfish

- Telescope Goldfish

- Other similarly sized, gentle fancy goldfish

Avoid aggressive fish, fin-nippers, and fast-swimming common or comet goldfish that may compete for food.
