Need help find COLD water and Schooling fish

[FishHobby99]

What’s a telescope? like a Black Moor? I have one. He’s shown no appreciable growth in the ~5 months I‘ve owned him. Or her. No idea. It’s with two comets, a black & a gold. Getting fatter but not longer. All in a 40 G long that I can upgrade when appropriate.

Since adding a second filter ( Fluval) to the Tetra, the water stays cleaner, longer.

They completely devoured the hornwort, but appears the growth rate in other plants exceeds their appetites, or perhaps the hornwort is yummier. They ignored spinach baby leaves.

I actually don't know the difference, I think they're different species but I'm completely lost when it comes to coldwater.

They are all the same species - goldfish - but they have been selectively bred for a long time to create all sorts of different shaped bodies and fins. There's a thread on here with some of the different types, though the telescope eye doesn't have a photo! They have the same head shape as a black moor but come in various colours.

google says Moors are a variant, but the eyes on mine don’t protrude as much as some I’ve seen in pics.

Black Moor[edit]​

The highest quality black moors have a velvety appearance and no metallic scales.
The black moor is a black colored variant of a telescope goldfish that has a characteristic pair of protruding eyes. Black telescopes are commonly known as Black Moors, Blackamoors (archaic)[4] or just Moors, a reference to the black North African Muslim inhabitants of Al-Andalus.

Black moor are believed to originate from China in the 1400s. In the 1500s they were traded in Japan, and lastly, in the 1800s, they made their way to the U.S.. It is widely accepted they were a result of selective fish breeding by Chinese who first called them Dragon Fish or Dragon Eyes.[5]
