Keeping The Black Moor Goldfish In Your Aquarium

The Black Moor Goldfish is one of the most beautiful types of goldfish and, true to its name, it is a beautiful black velvet in color, although it can actually range from a lighter gray when it is older to a very dark black, It typically starts out as black and stays that way. These fish have protruding eyes and are sometimes called Black Peony Goldfish or Dragon Eye Goldfish.

The Black Moor is a popular and hardy fish which is generally easy to care for. Their care is similar to that of any other species of goldfish and so, you must be careful not to overfeed them and be sure that you clean out their tanks often as any type of goldfish can be a bit messy. The Black Moor can be kept with other types of goldfish and will swim in a school with them. He also gets along with many other types of fish and can be kept easily in a community tank, however you must be aware that they like to dig and may uproot many of your plants and other decorations.

While these fish are good for indoor aquariums, they don’t hold up so well in outdoor goldfish ponds unless you live in a mild area. However, they can withstand very cold water temperatures so are good for tanks without heaters and ponds that don’t freeze over. In the house, their tanks should be kept at 65 to 72 degrees F and PH should be around 7.

The Black Moor has eyes that bulge out from its head which gives them a little bit of a handicap over other fish. In fact, they do not see as well as the other fish and may not be able to get as much food in an outdoor pond with faster fish. if you keep them in your aquarium, you should be sure that there are no visually complicated obstructions or anything that could be dangerous to this type of goldfish.

The Black Moor goldfish will do best in a tank that is at least 10 gallons, but really a larger tank is better. For his continued health, be sure that the PH levels of the tank are continually monitored. You can feed him flake foods, but you might also want to put in some vegetables or vegetable-based food as well as brine shrimp and blood worms. Just like any other fish, they will benefit from a varied diet however you have to be careful not to feed them too much as the excess food in the tank will pollute the water.

With optimum care, the Black Moor Goldfish can grow to 10 inches and live for up to 25 years.
