Black Moor Goldfish

Black Moor Goldfish

The Black Moor Goldfish is a great companion to other Fancy Goldfish. They are social animals so best kept in groups in a large coldwater aquarium. Black Moor's are also messy so good filtration and regular water changes are necessary.

Flake & sinking pellets are best. High Protein fish food when they are breeding. Sinking Pellets are best to help prevent swim bladder issues.

Community with other peaceful Fancy Goldfish & bottom feeders such as a Borneo Loach in cold water tanks. They will eat live plants.

Moderate. They are egg layers and breed best when in groups as they are very social.
