A Butterfly Moor goldfish is a fancy variety of Telescope goldfish, distinguished by its short body, large protruding eyes (like a Telescope) and exceptionally long, flowing, butterfly-wing-like fins, often appearing in colors like black, calico, red, or white, requiring a species-only tank due to being slow, peaceful, and prone to being out-competed by faster fish. They are omnivores needing a high-fiber diet (like blanched peas) to prevent constipation

• Eyes: Large, telescopic, bulging eyes.
• Body: Short and stout.
• Fins: Very long, elegant, flowing fins that resemble butterfly wings; often the longest of all goldfish varieties.

• Temperament: Peaceful and docile.
• Swimming: Slow and clumsy due to their ornate fins, making them poor competitors for food.
• Tank Mates: Best kept with other fancy goldfish (like Orandas, Ryukins) in a species-only tank to avoid fin nipping and food competition.
