bjocque Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 was just cruising the mall yesterday, looking at fish, as you do and spied some black moors for sale, but a couple of them had a caudal fin like a comet (single) instead of a split tail........... what gives? is this a breeding stuff up? is it common? does it make the swim quicker (i.e. more competitive?)

fishboi Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 they're common among breeders and called nymphs which basically means they're deformed in someway. usually culled but these days anything sells but all fancy goldfish is actually deformed to start with so if u like the looks of them yes they would be alot hardy and more suited for the out door pond.

bjocque Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 aaaaaaaaaah the feeder tank? was really going to show my ignorance and ask about nymphs (basically = effed up fish???) <---- in layman terms that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 The shape of a moor ,oranda etc is a development or inbred deformity and as nature does, some will revert back to the way the were originally either by body shape or colour. A black moor has a certain body shape and colour and fish that are not like that should not be sold as black moors. They sell red cap orandas that have reverted also and in my view they are not red cap orandas at all. They are all reverted gold fish---turtle tucker.
