Black Moors

[starrynightxxi]

what are the minimum requirements for keeping a black moor?

Probably a 20 gallon tank with adequate filtration would be ok for when it gets bigger.

thanks! i've been looking for information online, but so far every site seems to have copied wikipedia's entry word for word, and it doesn't really give any extensive information.

Found nothing in the index, but this was pinned in the coldwater section:

just thought i'd mention, a friend of mine was getting "rid" of a moor a few years ago and had no where to put it, so we put it into our pond. We didn't think it would survive long but 3 years on its happily swimming around with the koi's and goldfish out in the garden and even survived the freezing winters. i don't think this is natural practice but we've had no problems with him. in fact, i think soon we'll have to put him on a diet!!!
