You have to understand though genetics in goldfish is so understudied and with almost a hundred variants already available (and some completely wiped out as a result of lack of studies to retain their standard appearance) especially with telescopes, genetics is bound to be way too complex. This appeared in Animal Scene’s November 2016 issue.Doh! I tried to post last night but my other laptop is too slow. Ranchu, ryukin, and oranda goldfish are the three most popular varieties of goldfish, but the Telescopic goldfish has its own place in terms of beauty and charm. Telescopic goldfish are beautiful whether seen from the top or side. The eyes are actually globe- or almond-shaped. The eyes of the Demekin do not telescope like a Moor’s, though. These fish are often mistaken for the Black Moor. Demekins tend to live longer than other fancy varieties. Demekins can grow to be 5 inches long this is considered “short body”. They have high arched backs with telescope eyes. It is known that Demekin goldfish are a cross between the Ryukin and Telescope Eye goldfish. Two types that are commonly available are the short- and long-tail varieties. Tail: The butterfly telescope is easily recognized by its large, caudal fins that resemble the outstretched wings of a butterfly when viewed from above. In my experience, Telescopic goldfish that have long body shapes cannot reach a round egg shape, even if fully fed.Ĭolor: The Telescope Eye goldfish comes in many different colors, the most popular of which is black. Short bodies are beginning to be popular nowadays. The body depth of a Telescope goldfish should always be larger than two thirds of the body length to maintain its proportions.
Regardless of the shape of the eyes, they should be always equal in size and protrude outwards.īody shape: A Telescope goldfish has a body shaped like an egg with a double caudal fin.
Flat eyes are a little flattened at the top.Some Telescopic goldfish have round eyes that look like they will detach from the fish at any time, while others have more than half of the eye firmly attached to the head. Round eyes can be found in many positions on the head of the fish.Dome-shaped eyes are wider at the base of the eye and become narrower at the top of the eye.Also, avoid using sharp ornaments such as plastic plants, corals, and driftwood so as not to damage their eyes.Įyes: There are three eye shapes considered attractive in Telescope Eye goldfish. I recommended keeping slower goldfish with them, such as celestial and bubble eye goldfish. Faster fish, such as the Oranda, ryukin, and comet goldfish will compete with Telescopic goldfish for food. Their eyes limit their eyesight, so they do not see very well. They are slower than other goldfish varieties when it comes to swimming. Telescope Eye goldfish are easy to raise because of their calm and peaceful temperament. They can grow in length to about eight to ten inches.
