Black Moor Fantail
One of the most popular of all Exotic Goldfish, the Black Moor is a darker, velvety appearing goldfish that gets along great with other Goldfish. Also, known as the Broadtail Moor, it has eyes that telescope, but do not protrude as much as many others of its genus. It is typically identified as a veiltail. Hand-selected for unique coloration and overall superior health, these exotic goldfish are tended to by the PetSolutions husbandry staff following their importation. In preparation for shipping, a high quality pellet food with some vegetable matter is introduced. These Chinese imports are all strains of the species Carassius auratus. Hardy and long-lived, they can survive cooler temperatures. Extended periods below 60º F or above 80º F may not be tolerated well. Because they need some vegetable matter, they may cause damage to finer-leaved plants, but typically do no damage to thicker, hardy bog plants. While flake food will suffice for these fish, many aquatic professionals recommend a good-quality pellet food of no more than 30% protein to help keep these premium specimens in ideal health.
Approximate Arrival Size for Black Moor: Small: 1.5 to 2.75"; Medium: 4 to 5".
