Tail: The butterfly telescope is easily recognized by its large, caudal fins that resemble the outstretched wings of a butterfly when viewed from above. In my experience, Telescopic goldfish that have long body shapes cannot reach a round egg shape, even if fully fed.Ĭolor: The Telescope Eye goldfish comes in many different colors, the most popular of which is black. Short bodies are beginning to be popular nowadays. The body depth of a Telescope goldfish should always be larger than two thirds of the body length to maintain its proportions. Regardless of the shape of the eyes, they should be always equal in size and protrude outwards.īody shape: A Telescope goldfish has a body shaped like an egg with a double caudal fin. Flat eyes are a little flattened at the top.Some Telescopic goldfish have round eyes that look like they will detach from the fish at any time, while others have more than half of the eye firmly attached to the head. Round eyes can be found in many positions on the head of the fish.Dome-shaped eyes are wider at the base of the eye and become narrower at the top of the eye.Also, avoid using sharp ornaments such as plastic plants, corals, and driftwood so as not to damage their eyes.Įyes: There are three eye shapes considered attractive in Telescope Eye goldfish. I recommended keeping slower goldfish with them, such as celestial and bubble eye goldfish. Faster fish, such as the Oranda, ryukin, and comet goldfish will compete with Telescopic goldfish for food. Their eyes limit their eyesight, so they do not see very well. They are slower than other goldfish varieties when it comes to swimming. Telescope Eye goldfish are easy to raise because of their calm and peaceful temperament. Sadly parents will eat their own eggs and fry so best removed to a separate tank.They can grow in length to about eight to ten inches. If they are well cared for Goldfish will breed readily when they are about 2 years old regardless of their size.
Females develop a deeper body and have a larger vent (just before the anal fin) than the males. These should not be confused with the disease white spot. Males have white spots on their gill plates and front edge of pectoral fins: breeding tubercles. Tend to suffer with swim bladder problems due to their body shape and may catch their eyes on ornaments.īlack Moor, Fantail, Ryukin, Oranda, to name but a few. Goldfish are omnivorous - they will eat pellets/flake, green foods and most live foods such as bloodworm.īest to keep Fancy Goldfish with other cold water fish that will not nip their fins and fish that will be comfortable living in the slightly warmer temperatures that Fancy Goldfish prefer. See Minimum Tank Volume and Minimum Tank Size above to allow for growth. Calico describes Goldfish with red, black, blue, white and orange markings.įancy Goldfish, given correct conditions can grow very large, which means they are not suitable long term for small aquaria. Telescope Eye Goldfish are cute fish to keep and very friendly, but their eyesight is not that good so for safety should not be kept in a tank with any sharp ornaments as they may bump into this and lose or damage their eyes.
