Black Moor
The Black Moor Goldfish, often known simply as the Black Moor, is a goldfish variety that stands out for its captivating and unique appearance. What distinguishes it from other goldfish types is its deep, velvety black coloring, which envelops its entire body, including its delicate fins and flowing tail. These fish are characterized by their rounded, chubby bodies, which are entirely covered in velvety black scales. However, it's their eyes that make them truly stand out. The eyes of Black Moor Goldfish are unusually large and protrude outward, giving them a charming and somewhat comical appearance. Interestingly, this eye structure affects their vision, making them somewhat nearsighted, which only adds to their character. The stark contrast between the Black Moor's deep black coloration and its bright white underbelly creates a dramatic and visually stunning effect. Their gracefully flowing fins further enhance their overall allure, making them a beloved choice among goldfish enthusiasts. In addition to their distinctive black color and large eyes, Black Moors have flowing fins that add to their overall elegance. These fins can have delicate fringes, creating a graceful and almost regal look.
