Goldfish Black Moor - Carassius auratus

The black moor goldfish is a black-colored variant of the telescope goldfish. These fish are peaceful and low-maintenance, it is perfect for the beginner fish keepers.

Ideal Tank Mates

Black Moor Goldfish do best when housed with gentle, slow-swimming companions such as other goldfish, white cloud minnows, or dojo loaches. It is important to avoid aggressive or fast-moving fish to minimize stress. These fish favor tranquil conditions, making a 75-litre aquarium ideal. Maintaining a filtered tank with live plants helps create a stable and calm habitat suited to their sensitive nature.

Feeding & Nutrition

Black Moor Goldfish have an omnivorous diet, naturally feeding on plants and tiny organisms in their habitat. To replicate this, provide premium pellets alongside blanched vegetables or brine shrimp as supplements. Feed them once or twice daily, offering only what they can consume in about three minutes to prevent overfeeding. This feeding routine supports their vivid coloration and promotes optimal health in your aquarium.
