If you had to pick a fish would you rather have a oranda or a telescope goldfish?

Question

Just a question nothin really serious, also black moor is a telescope goldfish. No other goldfish types aloud in this poll lol.

Also what goldfish needs more room out of the two?

Answer 1

orandas!! theyre cute

Answer 2

I can't really answer the "Which goldfish needs more room out of the two" half of the question - being that I've never actually been able to have a goldfish of my own...

However, asthetics completely dictating my decision, I'd have to choose telescopes! They just fill my day with such joy whenever I see them around the petshops... Even if my friend, who had one when she was, like, 6, said that hers popped one of it's eyes on this rock she had in the tank... The way she described the horrendous event nearly made me barf, but I still love looking at the little babies!

Answer 3

Orandas...they have the cutest baby face....Basically moors or telescopes really have very sensitive eyes...you might do everything right but still something cud go wrong with their eyes...I think they need a lot of care..but Black moors rock...they really are cute..Still if I had pick one I would go for ORANDA...

Answer 4

orandas are prettier and they would need equal amounts of room

Answer 5

Oranda!! They each need the same ammount of space, 20 gallons for the first goldfish and 10 gallons for every goldfishfish you have after that. You could have both in a 30 gallon tank!

Answer 6

i vote for telescope goldfish.A black goldfish is pretty cool and nice.Every goldfish need large tanks to be happy.

Answer 7

You don't have to decide, I have a Telescopic Eye Red Cap Oranda. This is not the best pic http://www.finvillage.com/gallery/view/i...

Answer 8

orandas. i feel sorry for those telescope goldfishes, i feel like it was a genetic mutation that was never meant to be =(

Answer 9

if i wereyou i would go with the oranda. because telescope goldfish get sick easy. if you get a telescope gold fish make sure it's temperature is below 28 degrees.

Answer 10

get a telescope its unique

Answer 11

Oranda's are cute but out of the two telescopes are my favorite.

Answer 12

I'd go with the telescope fish, it sounds more high tech.

Answer 13

Im gonna go wiht Orandas cuz I currently have 3 of them & they are GREAT!! I did have a Black Moor but sadly he was a very unhealthy fish & died....the enitre time I had him he suffered mulitple illnesses no matter how good of shape my tank was in....the 2 fishies I have now are happy & healthy and they are all Orandas so thats why I chose them♥♥

Answer 14

Black moor, they look fascinating, don't you think? Black moors can grow up to 8-10 inches as adults and require a 30 gallon tank with a filter, no heater is needed as they are coldwater fish.

Answer 15

Orandas.  They look smart, cause their head looks like a brain.

Answer 16

I had orandas, and I absolutely loved them.  I was amazed at how responsive they became towards people.  I know they were mostly looking for food, but it was still fun.

However, like most fish in the carp family, they are very, very messy!  You'll definitely need a good filtration system, and the filter itself will have to be cleaned and/ or replaced pretty often.
