Black Moor Goldfish Care (Tank Setup)

[@PalmerAquatics]

amzn.to/2HIRXWx - The Aquarium Black Moor Goldfish Tank Care topic is always talked about. Check out my guide on these fish. Tank Mates, size of aquarium, growth, sickness, and more. Make sure to feed high quality food. I’d use NLS goldfish formula. Here is a link: NLS Goldfish Food: amzn.to/2HIRXWx

Goldfish are like the puppies of fresh water tanks. They're derpy and adorable.

[@dizzy4evashallkill]

Sooo derpy. I love iiit

Black moor's have a skin on top of their scales. They are quite unique.

I had a black moor goldfish growing up and he was huge,he caught ick and I cried because I thought I was going to loose him.My dad took him out of the tank once a day and would apply iodine to the spots and he cleared up completely lol..My dad was a fish guy and he has 50 gallon aquariums filled with guppies and goldfish. He loves his fish

[@richbrake9910]

Black Moors do not usually contract ick, did you guys turn the furnace off or have a blackout for a while?

[@rowdyyeets4532]

I heard that if you keep the water temperature up for two or three days at 86°F, it kills ich. If it's still there, just do three more days.

[@Bearskimethod]

[@dundun211]

Thank you so much. I am getting my black moor and oranda fish tomorrow. Videos like yours helped me so much in tank preparation and daily care. 🥰

[@kripkethechameleonfriends4505]

Thanks for sharing. It's not as complicated as some may think. I recently sold most of my jumbo size goldfish including my Black Moor named Cole and I grew him from 3 to 9 and a quarter inches. He lived with other fancies in shallow, long and wide pond-like structures and I intend to do the same with my new generation of goldies =)

[@PreppyMiniCat]

Agreed

[@sherryclark3404]

I LOVE black moore. I had one for 5 yrs till I got out of fish for over 10 years. My grandson, 3 yrs old, wants a "black goldfish". So I will be getting another one as soon as my fishless cycle is done (only been a week). Cant wait :)

[@langenandanimals]

My black moor is kind of a strange exception. He's so aggressive he HAS to stay with the fast fish. But I make sure he gets lots of nurtution. Also, notice how he has 3 points on his tail instead of two fins? That's a genetic flaw, technically he's not a perfect example, but I love him!

[@adkgaladkgal1799]

Love fancy goldfish, Squeeze sponges weekly,remove excrement weekly, change water, equals very healthy goldfish- been keeping them for 34 years, but keepers on youtube have excellent advice.

[@your_mom095]

hes knows didn't you see he has over fish

[@frankmorenojr6147]

My black moor got covered with ich. I quarantine with salt and put it on a 10 gallon tank with a heater and the ich went away and now hes amazing.

[@erickathompson7801]

🤔 what type of salt and how much you use?

[@jameslothian8324]

have 2 moors about 8-9 inch long now keeping them in a 200 litre tank with a shoal of neon tetras some pepper corys and 2 bristle nose plecs, medium planted with bog wood and stones like a river pond the fish love it

[@itztoosh8766]

I'm getting my first goldfish tomorrow and I am so excited, I'm getting the black moor or maybe another cold water goldfish.

[@Amanda-cd4ls]

Great video! Your little one is adorable! We are expecting our own little future fish keeper in August 😊 we keep both tropical freshwater and goldfish as well. I think those who don't like Goldfish really just don't know enough about their history and genetics. Fascinating fish!

[@handbaghound]

I had an 8 inch female Black Moor with an 9 to 10 inch tail from body to the very end..she was ginormous and her tail looked like jet black flowing cascades of ruffles , she was the most beautiful animal I've ever seen. Her name was Queball because her eyes were so huge and she was my best friend , for 3 and 1/2 years. She absolutely loved her colored bubbler strip. She loved to play , especially under the filter flow. People say they aren't smart fish but I always kept fancy goldfish and they were extremely smart. If I stood outside of my room and yelled Bubbles Queball!! She would stop whatever she was doing and go do 5 or 6 laps through the bubbles. She loved having me gently tickle her belly..I would have to do that for 20 minutes or until my arm gave out..she never did..I had to put her down because of a horrible issue with swim bladder , that was 4 months ago and I sold everything I had fish related. I come on here sometimes hoping to see 1 that will come close to matching her size and beauty but never do. I guess she was a 1 of a kind..I know she was to me.

My husband brought a 200 litre tank and it came with fish, he had no idea. The lady handed over 2 angel fish, 7 neon tetras and 2 black moor gold fish. We have our own tanks that are full of tetras octocinclus bristlenose catfish, guppies and baby guppy fry. So what do we do with these gold fish?

[@BebopbeypBBB4th]

I have 3 Oranda and 2 Black Moor Goldfish in a 35 gallon with guppies and they do great.... the filter I did is 90 GPH submersible DIY Filter with Bell feature. I used some plumbing tube with grates and bio balls coarse filter foam then topped it with lava rocks. Fish are swimming and eating great.

Seems a little light for a moor, he will most likely change color😉

[@squeakyd8850]

Hey Palmer, my local fish club just had a meeting recently about goldfish,specifically fancies and the guy that did the presentation has been keeping goldfish for quite a long time he told me that it was a myth that goldfish cannot digest the skin of peas and that he’s been feeding peas with the skin with no issues so I decided to try it myself since my goldfish are quite large and can eat whole peas and it turns out that they can digest it just fine I monitor my fish very closely including how they pass their food just thought I would share my experience and I do respect Anybody else’s decision to still still take the skin off

[@deathdecorvid9926]

Who ever doesn't like gold fish need to get a new hobby, gold fish is the reason why alot of people came into the hobby; including myself.

[@Lowdermoomoo]

My black moor is busted, one pectoral fin that barely moves, a side of this tail that is crooked, he’s slow as hell, has a bad swim bladder, gets bullied by my fantail (I’m still cycling their 29gallon so they’re in a smaller hospital tank because they had an ich breakout so my fantail is bullying him ☹️) and he’s STILL THE CUTEST THING ON THIS PLANET! This baby will crookedly swim to greet me at whatever side of the tank I’m at, he will literally make direct eye contact with me and just sit there and hang out. I’ve spent over $300 dollars just because I want this darn $7 fish to live 🫠 I don’t know how he’s still so sweet after the other guy bugging him, but if he somehow doesn’t make it (I fear he might pass from stress or ich) I want to make sure I can say I tried my best.

[@rowdyyeets4532]

I heard that bringing the water temperature up to 86°F will kill ich. Three days kills the ich usually, and if it's not gone after 3 do 3 more days. It's a parasite.

[@mohammadkaif640]

Can you put 2 black moors together x were going to get some nrxt week x

Yes they are good in groups. The tank has to be at least 29 gallons for 2. Read or KZbin about cycling the tank water so that your fish have better chances of staying healthy. Good luck.

I never really had the best luck with black Moore’s they are cool but they just don’t survive with me great vid btw. Edit o wouldn’t have put that water in th tank also you should put in some pearl scales they are adorable and you could get crowned or not also who ever said goldfish aren’t manly they are awesome Second edit if it is a faster fancy with smaller fins dojo loaches are fine

[@kripkethechameleonfriends4505]

Sorry to hear that. I was fortunate to grow our Moor to over 9 inches before selling him. It can be done with a few tweaks =)

[@naturallyloachy3164]

[@humble6197]

I have a huge black moor around 7-8" and only a juvenile

[@thethingwithfins]

*sees not quarantine* that thing came from PetSmart *Sees that moor* yea that's not gonna stick. Is bet money that thing turns orange based on it's color. Not dark enough to be a moor, especially from PetSmart. Goldfish also grow to 8-12 inch range. My "black moor" is already around 6 and turned orange (he was darker than yours) As far as feeding goes I personally use The bug bites and Hikari Breeder Preferred.

[@emilydavistheresmyname.939]

[@byjuvarmawww]

Chill buddy partial water changes weekly 50 percent change your water let the filtration system good id recommend a hang on filter because its really good plus when u clean the tank take the fishes using net dont even touch em ,because they have a slimy coat for protection if u have more doubts do ask🌺

[@anniematthew2608]

I’m new to the black moor cuties, however I have saltwater & freshwater for almost 20 years. I’ve read that 29 gallon is best for 2 black moors. Your tank should be cycled, if it hasn’t cycled be sure to use Seachem stability, follow instructions. Best substrate is none or sand. I have white sand & the Poop is easier to see & vacuum. Don’t over feed. For the first month while the tank is going through cycling I would do a water change of 30% weekly. Rinse the filter only in water removed from the tank. Hope this helps.

[@aquaferme1346]

There is no problem being a man and liking goldfish, Is there really people out there having problem with this? It is true that more women than men are into goldfish, but that is not a bad thing at all. women are good company anyway :P . overall, goldfish is a COMPLETELY different experience in fish keeping compared to tropicals. Tropicals is nice for building a habitat/community, and it is cool for that. With goldfish, it is all about the individual fish as they each are more unique to each other. getting to develop awesome goldfish (grooming) is a longterm rewarding hobby. because of their diversity (tetraploid), breeding goldfish is also a super exciting experience because you always get suprises in each spawn.

[@aquatictints760]

I don’t know if anyone told you to take out the gravel for goldfish. They are silly fish and there are too many stories about goldfish choking on gravel and owners rescuing them - sand is a better bottom for them and recommended by most goldfish experts over gravel.

I got my 3 year old one from Walmart and my 8 month old one from pet smart. They seem happy d content but my two year old one is now orange and he seems the same but I just want to know if I'm doing this wrong or anything cause I really dont know much but im only 11 so it's really hard and my parents won't help me clean the tank and I can't do it by myself. Anyone please help I love my fishies and i want the best for them i dont want to hurt them so pleaseeee respond. P.s. I know I should have done research before I got them but I was only 8 so I didn't know what I was doing. Sincerely me

[@bigtvman1781]

I have that goldfish too

[@dennetofferman371]

"Black Moor" aka Black Telescope is NOT a standard breed within it's own right. It's an extremely loose and over- used term in the novice goldfish hobby. Marketing somehow made it lazily clear to consumers that it is it's own breed. Moors/ Telescopes can come in EVERY possible goldfish color, so it's really just said "moor". Breeds are not to be defined by color, but by conformation differences- crossbreed or tail type. In some cases black as a color has been bred well in some breeds and stays lifelong with an individual, but it's not uncommon for blacks to change and fade to another color. The marketing terms "panda" (with black and white) and "Tricolor" (black, red, and black) are not permanent colors as they are often advertised, but are actually all phases of the black pigment naturally removing itself from the fish to eventually reveal the underlying colors. A shorttail Demekin and a Butterfly Telescope can both be black, as different as these breeds can look.

[@sydneywalker5394]

its just a kind of live tank plant, live plants are a really big help to water quality if you can keep it healthy, some fish will eat it or just pick at it.but its a good idea for betas and fancy goldfish because its safe for delicate fish to swim through rather than store bought plastic plants.
