telescope eye goldfish?

Question

anyone have any info on telescope eye goldfish? i have 2 but i just wanted to know a lil info on tank size and their behavior and stuff

Answer 1

I'm putting some links below on care requirements, max size, etc. Some of the more important things to remember about their care is that they need plenty of oxygen and clean water to stay healthy, and that their eyes are very easily injured so you should stay away from gravel and decorations with sharp corners and edges. Also, goldfish need a different diet than tropicals so you have to buy goldfish food, not just regular flakes.

As for personality, my sister had a telescope eye for years. She named it Wiggle and it was just full of personality. It would dance for her when she came to the tank, follow her around, nibble at her fingers when she cleaned, etc. Very endearing little thing. Well, not so little. It got huge!

EDIT: I almost forgot. It's not a good idea to mix telescope eyes with regular-eyed fancies. Their vision is so bad that they take a while to find their food and often just can't get any when the normal-eyed fish gobble it all up.

Answer 2

Telescope goldfish need the same basic care as all goldfish: Cool clean water,10 gallon or bigger tank for small fish,and 2 or 3 small feedings a day. A power filter to aerate and clean the water,and weekly 20% water changes.Don't put in faster type goldfish;they will nip the fins of the fancy ones and will take all the food.
I agree with what the earlier answerers wrote.

Answer 3

Telescopes would be kept similarly to any of the fancy goldfish. Only differences is the for any of the "eyed" varieties (telescopes, and especially bubble-eyes and celestials), it's best not to have any sharp objects that they could swim into in their tank (the eye positions don't always allow them to see where they're going at all distances). These should get to be around 8-10 inches as adults.

Answer 4

a million. A male Telescope Moor (Telescope Eyed Goldfish) has breeding tubercles on its head and gill covers. women human beings do no longer. it relatively is the only thank you to tell the version between the female and male. 2. simply by fact Telescope Moors are vegetarian, you may feed them flakes, vegetable count (carrots, cucumber etc.), starchy ingredients (potato and cereals etc.it relatively is stable for vegetarian fish), synthetic ingredients e.g. pellets, pills, granular) etc. they could additionally nibble on stay plant life in case you have them in the tank. it relatively is prevalent and basically enable them to do it. 3. Telescope Moors are 'egg-scatterers'. this suggests, whilst the mate, they have eggs, yet particularly of depositing the eggs on a plant, ornament, rock etc., they simply blindly scatter the eggs everywhere. the place the ggs lands, it remains, without retaining milt or mucus to hold it down, so there's a particularly stable danger the eggs gets sucked into the clear out. wish i helped! <>< (fish) ><>

Answer 5

They should have 10 gallons per three inches of fish to stay healthy. You should have strong filtration. Large gravel or no gravel at all because they tend to eat at the tank bottom due to their deformed eyes and they could choke to death on small gravel.
