my black moore stewie i just got him a couple days ago but hes really healthy swims fine not to fat but one eye is smaller than the other but its not like the eye lid cause thats the same size as the other its just his actual eyeball it self im wondering if anythings wrong with him or if its just a birth defect
my black moore stewie i just got him a couple days ago but hes really healthy swims fine not to fat but one eye is smaller than the other but its not like the eye lid cause thats the same size as the other its just his actual eyeball it self im wondering if anythings wrong with him
I love this video so much I named my blackmoor after Po jsut his names spelt Poe he ahd fin rot but i cured it but he killed my other fish and died when i went on holiday :( I got 2 fish now Tim and Tay :D <3
@llnnssccify Yes, you definitely need a filter (I have a carbon one, though there are better ones out there), and also an air pump. The pump keeps the oxygen in the water, and the filter helps to balance the tank's bacteria.
i breed black moors, and you need jst about the strongest filter you can buy. a 10 gallon is also way too small for them, they will out grow it in a year but till you can get a bigger one it will be fine. but honestly, anything under 30 gallons shouldnt be used, i have 20 black moors in a 150 gallon tank. also, use silking food, cause flake causes them to swallow air which can and will kill them.
@xAquaFishyx-- Your fish has a swimbladder problem. Contact your local petsmart and explain what your fish is doing and they will help you out. If left untreated it will kill your black moor. Hope he gets better.
i have 2 a baby and a grown up i love black more fish , many people say that there eyes are ugely but to me that makes them even more cool and in a way cute anyway love the vid
can i get 1 black moore for a 10 gal with 2 african clawed frogs and a pleco and apple snail? i know the frogs should have a 20 gallon if thers 2 but they have no problems and are living happy. if i can get a black more ill make sure to get a big one so he has no chance of getting eaten.
god no! first off a pleco fish is way too big for a 10 gallon tank as they grow over 25 inchs. and also, they are very mean catfish and will attack a black moor, and they will also suck the slime off, not eat them. a single young black moor should only be kept in a 30 gallon tank, so as they grow up to 10 inchs, i keep all mine in a 150 gallon tank.
@napoleontak no never ever put them with goldfish the frogs get big and they can still attack and nip the goldfish and after a while they may work together and trap the goldfish and stress it out so much it could die!
@PrincessKimberly yes, but i pointed it out and they put the fish into observation. im going to get one on thursday when they get their next shipment.
Help please! My little black moor goldfish is sitting at the bottom of the tank. He moves a little when I come around but then goes back down. I dont know whats wrong with him, or how to help him! :( i love my black moor goldfish very much and i want him to be happy!
In my tank I have a Black moor and two orandas I think there orandas, When i feed them my moor hardly gets anything and people are saying i should move him in a drifferent tank with another fish with poor vision so he has a friend and he can find food more easily I have a 55 Gallon tank with them three in on my wardrobe I could fit like a 30-40 Gallon next to it or i am thinking of just getting a big tank and making sure he gets food
@famousstunners Each of these will need 10 gallons of water, minimum, as they are rather dirty fish. They are easygoing, however. I'd also suggest a good food like Pro Gold (you can find it at the Goldfish Connection web site).
@FastRCTeam Well, he may have constipation or something else wrong with him. Don't feed him for a day, and if you want to help him breathe without shocking him, add a SMALL amount of non-iodized salt to the tank (don't use salt with iodine added).
He is beautiful !!! Im hoping to get an Aquarium once my living room is decorated, there is so much to know before buying a Black Moor I want mine to be happy so no sharps or rocks for him. Sorry to hear about your other fishy, it can be really sad when something so delicate and lovely passes away..
i just got a black moor :D its also living in a 15 gallon tank with another goldfish slightly larger than him. is that healthy? oh and my black moor is named midnight :D
I like the name! 15 gallons is ok for now, but it's recommended that you have 10 gallons of water per fish, as Black Moors and other types of goldfish are very dirty (they produce a lot of waste).
No, because Black Moors are very dirty fish. They and all other goldfish need at least 10 gallons of water per fish, to help keep the water clean, and also to give them room to grow.
Eventually, she's going to become cramped, and she won't be able to grow outwardly. Her organs will grow, but she won't, and she'll die a painful death.
Yeah I understand that. I have introduce disease to my tropical fish twice now. But most are not serious and very easy to treat, you just need to be prepared!
We recently got a male and female and they've already spawned and we've got about 12 fry hatched and now feeding and swimming freely. Excited to raise them now. In all we have 10 (6 ryukin and 2 golden ryukin and 2 black moor) fish. The 2 black moor are in their own 20 gallon tank and the others are in a 55 gallon tank. I'll have to post some videos of them soon.
Yes, when we introduced them its around 54-60F and then warmed it to around 70-72F. The courtship lasts for a good 5 hours before he milts the eggs. They did this all on their own, no inducing. Once he milted the tank we removed the eggs and put them in a small 5 gallon with about 5-6inches of water at around 70F. The fertilized eggs develop little black dots in the middle before fry hatch. Now there are only about 5 healthy free swimmers. They are growing pretty fast. VERY cool.
You won't be able to accurately sex the fish until they are full grown adults. The males will develop little white "tubercles" on the front edge of their pectoral fins and their gill plates (cheeks). The females body will become very round and fat with eggs. This starts happening when they're about 3 years old or thereabouts.
Wow! Six of them? Black Moors require a mimumum of ten gallons per fish...what size tank do you have? Some suggestions for names? Mine would be Opium, Jet, India, Malarkey, Onyx, and Aquarius. Hope that helps!
The tank is pretty big but when they get too big i think i might get a seperate tank so don,t worry about that wow your like a random name genertor =P Anyways at the place i bought them a guy recommended 6 cuz i bought the tank from the same place
I just saw a video of po and another goldfish in a 1 gallon! Good job for upgrading! I use to keep my goldfish in a 2.5 and now I am at a 20 gallon! Po looks very happy and healthy! Keep it up!!
Thanks! Yeah, the one gallon was just something to house them in until the big tank was ready. Unfortunately, Sweetie Pie, the little goldfish, died months ago.
Po is in a 29-gallon tank by himself. I feed Po Pro-Gold goldfish food. It's a really high-quality food that has a lot of great nutrients and also sinks quickly to help avoid swim bladder problems.
Hmm. I saw that you posted a video response, but it's not in my video response box. I hope it shows up, but I'll keep checking back in case I need to approve it.
It is all right to have a fish by itself, but a fish bowl isn't healthy for any fish. They need a tank with a filter. Goldfish are especially dirty (in terms of waste production) and need no less than ten gallons per fish. I hope that helps!
