Black Moors (Carassius auratus) are a member of the fantail goldfish family. For contrast in any aquarium, the velvety black of Moors forms a striking and beautiful combination. They have black metallic scales with a short round body and a split tail fin. A black moor's most prominent feature is their telescoping eyes. They range in size from 1.5" to as large as 10".
Black moors, as their names states are black in color. However, they can change in color depending on their age, ranging from a gray color when they are very young to shades of red appearing on the fish when they have some age on them.
Like all other goldfish, black moors are hatched from an egg and are smaller than an eyelash in the first days of life. Amazingly, by 45 days they will grow to a marketable size of 1.5" - 2.5" but will need additional time for their eyes to protrude.
Black Moors are a community goldfish and will do great in any freshwater aquarium setting with all other goldfish, including red fantails, calico fantails, shubunkins, sarasa comets, pond comets and regular common goldfish.
