Description
The domestic Goldfish is one of the most popular fish kept today, and also one of the very first to be kept indoors. Contrary to dated belief, goldfish cannot be kept in tiny, unfiltered bowls. They should get quite large (about the size of a sweet potato) and live for decades. These are intelligent fish that will come to recognize their owners; the idea that their memory span is only 3 minutes has been disproven by multiple scientific studies. An ideal environment for goldfish is a 30-40 gallon tank with at least 2-3 goldfish, and nice strong filtration.
Telescope-Eye goldfish are known for their large protruding eyeballs. The black morph specifically is usually referred to as a "Moor", and all other colours simply as telescopes. These are juveniles, approximately 3.5" in length without the tail.
