Panda Moor Goldfish
The Panda Moor goldfish is a type of goldfish that is generally referred to as being “fancy”. Any type of fancy goldfish is simply a genetic variation of the first goldfish, which were seen as a mutation of certain types of carp. Over the years, these “mutated” fish were selectively bred, which gives us the rich diversity of types of goldfish that we see today. The Panda Moor goldfish is, as its name suggests, a black and white goldfish with “panda-like” colors. Just like in pandas, the black and white patches on the Panda Moor goldfish are fairly large, and oval or circular in shape. Some Panda Moor goldfish have black coloration in specific areas, such as along the dorsal line, or on the tips of their tail fins.
The tail of the Panda Moor goldfish is usually split, with the two fins being fan-like in shape. They extend down and out from the body of the Panda Moor goldfish, flowing back from the fish as it swims. When mature, the Panda Moor goldfish is almost velvet-like in appearance, without the usual metallic sheen seen on the scales of some other types of goldfish. One of the most distinctive features of the Panda Moor goldfish is its eyes, which protrude from the sides of its heads on short stalks. The eyes of the Panda Moor goldfish are fairly delicate, and may become injured through rough play with other fish. It’s best if a Panda Moor goldfish be kept in a tank without a fluctuating temperature.
