The telescope goldfish has two distinct features that set it apart from the household goldfish and fancy goldfish. The first striking feature is the fish’s big eyes that look like two telescopes attached to its head. These fish will have blotches of color dotted around their body rather than displaying a uniform pattern. Immature fish are dark brown or black in color and only lighten and display patterns as they mature. Telescope goldfish come in a variety of patterns and are either orange, red, black, white, brown, or a combination of colors.

Fishkeepers looking to keep these fish in a home aquarium should ensure the tank setup resembles the goldfish’s natural habitat.
