The Black Moor Goldfish is basically a black version of the Telescope Goldfish, though the eyes usually don't protrude as far as they do on the Telescope!
Sad fish owner - 2011-02-08 Help too! So I was washing my fish's bowl and he got out of the net and fell on the ground and the impact popped one of his eyes. Will it go back to normal and heal or will it forever be sunk in?

Justin Brough - 2011-03-24 Sometimes they will heal back to normal and sometimes they don't. You'll just have to wait and see.

Charlie Roche - 2011-05-29 Attached is Animal World article on Fish Diseases and Symptoms. There is one where it says there is white/grey cloudy patches and that is cloudy eye and a fungus and treatable. There is another that says milky cloudiness on skin which is bacterial and treatable. Please go to the article and see which symptoms best describe what is happening to your little fella nd the appropriate treament is recomended. Good luck but looks like you saw it and know to treat it. Good for you.
Haley - 2011-03-20 I've had my black moor fish for about a month now, and just yesterday I noticed a bunch of white spots all over his body besides his head. I think it's called ich, (ick?) and I read that if you put your infected fish into a quarantine tank with a little salt, and raise the temperature to 85-88, it will go away. But I don't know how warm the black moor fish can stand, or if salt will kill it. Please help! He's starting to look gray and sick! :(

Justin Brough - 2011-03-24 This definitely sounds like ich. The rise in temperature is usually suggested for scaleless fish since copper and malachite green can be toxic to them. For goldfish just use an ich (parasite) medication like Quick-Cure.
ashley dover - 2011-03-07 My black goldfish has had a few white spots or scales missing and now his eyes are covered in a white film and look as if they are about to burst. What do I do?

charles mc cray - 2011-03-21 I moved my black goldfish from a 10 gals tank to 55 gals tank. Two days later his eyes are covered in a white film and it looks like he can't see. Is there anything i can do for him? There are 20 other fish in the tank they are all doing well.
Justin Brough - 2011-03-24 Try a general antibiotic for finrot or fungus like Maracyn, Maracyn Plus or Fungus Cure. You can also add ich medication like Quick-Cure for any parasitic infestations. If only one fish is affected, you might want to isolate it in a quarantine tank so you don't have to treat the whole aquarium.
Brittiney Swieter - 2009-12-21 I've had my black moor for almost a year now. I keep him in a 55gal. tank a few other gold fish like him. I've just noticed that one of his eyes has gotten smaller and the other one much larger. I'm not sure what has happened. None of the other fish are experiencing this. I've tested the water and everything is fine. What has happened ad how can i fix it?

john - 2011-02-06 I just bought a black telescope goldfish. It stays on the bottom for a while then swims a little bit. When I give put food he doesn't notice it for a while, until he goes up and eats almost all the flakes in one bite. Then he goes back to the bottom, is this normal?

Aluyasha - 2011-03-02 What temp is your tank at? Black Moors are a little bit more sensitve of the temp. And how often are you cleaning the tank?
DannyBoy - 2011-02-16 Do the Moore breeds of goldfish have eye issues, such as the bubble eyed goldfish? I'm wanting to get at last 2 goldfish and I'm not used to the specifications of these fish. I'm a high school student and I'm used to Betta and tropical fish. Not the cold water breeds.. lol. HELP? Please:)

Aluyasha - 2011-03-02 They are considered one of the handicapped types of goldfish like bubble eyes and celestials, yes. However, they are one of the least handicapped. Just make sure they are not with any fast fish that will steal their food. Also, do not use pointy or jagged/sharp plants and caves and such. They should be fine. Good luck!
Hector - 2011-01-31 Hello! I have 2 black moors in a 17 litre tank. One of my black moors is staying under the log or in the bottom, Why won't he/she swim around?
