Red Telescope Fantails (Carassius auratus) are a member of the fantail goldfish family. They have red metallic scales with a short round body and a split tail fin. A red telescope fantail's most prominent feature is their telescoping eyes. They range in size from 1.5" to as large as 10".
Red Telescopes, as their names states are red in color. There are also variations in color ranging from red with black markings, red with white markings and calico patterned telescope fantails.
Like all other goldfish, Red Telescopes 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.
Red Telescope Fantails are a community goldfish and will do great in any freshwater aquarium setting with all other goldfish, including red fantails, calico fantails, black moors, shubunkins, sarasa comets, pond comets and regular common goldfish.
