GoldFish NQ-GF-0012

Butterfly Telescope Goldfish are renowned for their elegant and distinctive appearance. They are characterized by their elongated, flowing double tails that resemble butterfly wings, hence their name. These tails can grow to be quite impressive, adding to their visual appeal. One of the most striking features of Butterfly Telescope Goldfish is their telescopic eyes. Their eyes protrude from the sides of their heads and have a unique shape, resembling telescope lenses. This feature not only adds to their charm but also provides them with excellent vision. These goldfish come in a variety of colors, including red, orange, black, calico, and even metallic shades. Their body shape is round and compact, making them an eye-catching addition to any aquarium. Butterfly Telescope Goldfish are generally peaceful and can coexist with other fish species of similar size and temperament. However, it's crucial to provide them with adequate space and water conditions to thrive. A well-maintained aquarium with good filtration and regular water changes is essential to keep them healthy
