Many people will keep goldfish in small one or two gallon bowls with no heater or filtration. When it comes to feeding, they will not thrive well with fast competitive tank mates. They can do well in a goldfish bowl, an aquarium, or even a pond if the environment is safe, well maintained, and have tank mates that are not competitive. They are very undemanding of water quality and temperature. Besides causing them to have poor vision, their eyes are subject to injury and infection. This is not because they lack general hardiness, but rather because of their more extremely telescopic eyes. The Telescope Goldfish are not considered a good beginner fish. These fish will thrive best housed with the other similarly handicapped including the Black Moor and the less hardy Bubble Eye Goldfish Lionhead Goldfish, and Celestial Goldfish. Their eyes cause them to have poor vision so they are not a good competitor for food, and their eyes are subject to injury and infection. Like the Black Moor the Telescope Goldfish have the ability to live at colder temperatures, but unlike their cousin they are not considered a good beginner fish. The well known, and very popular Black Moor Goldfish is basically a black version of the Telescope Goldfish though its eyes don’t protrude quite as far. The bi-colored black/white version is affectionately known as the Panda Telescope Goldfish and there is a unique chocolate version with orange pompoms. These include solids of red, blue, chocolate, or white tri-colored and calico and bi-colored versions in red/white and black/white. There are many different colors in both metallic and nacreous scale types, but seldom in a matte scale type.
Today they are also available with long flowing fins and a couple other tail fin styles: veil tail, broadtail, and butterfly tail. The body is short and stubby, the head is very wide, and they have a split caudal fin (tail fin) that is moderate in length and slightly forked. Other than its eyes, and being slightly smaller, a basic Telescope Goldfish is very similar to the Fantail Goldfish. Rather than having the long slender body of the Common Goldfish or the Shubunkins, this is one of the more rounded or egg-shaped fancy gold fish.
Later in that century they were produced in Japan and were given the name Demekin, which the Japanese still call them today. It is believed the Telescope Goldfish were first developed in China in the early 1700’s and were called the Dragon Eye Goldfish or Dragonfish. On some fish these stalks can extend out as far as 3/4 of an inch (19 – 20 cm), but they don’t really start to protrude until these fish are about 6 months old. The eyes are a most curious characteristic of the Telescope Goldfish.Their large eyes are set on top of long telescope or cone-like stalks mounted on the sides of its head.
