Calico Moor 3-4 cm
calico moor 3-4 cm –
They belong to the family Cyprinidae and is native to Asia. This species is a variety of fancy goldfish, and like most goldfish is a hardy cold water fish that is relatively easy to care for. They are favourites for many aquarists as pet fish for its vibrant, variegated, calico colouring.
The eyes are a most curious characteristic of the Telescope Goldfish. Their large eyes are set on top of a long telescope or cone-like stalks mounted on the sides of its head. On some fish, these stalks can extend out as far as 3/4 of an inch (19 – 20 cm), but they don’t really start to protrude until these fish are about 6 months old. It is believed the Telescope Goldfish were first developed in China in the early 1700’s and were called the Dragon Eye Goldfish or Dragonfish. Later in that century they were produced in Japan and were given the name Demekin, which the Japanese still call them today.
