The moor is basically a black version of the telescope goldfish that has a characteristic pair of protruding eyes. This goldfish is very popular due to its velvet like black coat.  The eyes of the black moor usually don't protrude quite so far as those of the telescope goldfish. As far as the physical appearance of the black moor is concerned, it has a silver belly and a forked tail, with the caudal fins and lobes that are rounded. Its vision is rather poor, making it an unsuitable candidate for a pond. This particular goldfish is also not an agile or fast swimmer, so avoid keeping it in the same tank with extremely competitive goldfish such as the comet and shubunkin. If given a proper environment, moors can grow up to 10 inches and live for more than 20 years. They prefer a pH level between 6.5- 7.5 and water temperature above 22 °C. They comparatively don't need severe care. The fish feed on live as well as on commercial diets comprising of flakes and pellets.
