Goldfish are the single most popular aquarium or pond fish, having been cultivated for thousands of years. The Black Moor variety is believed to have first appeared in China in the 19th century. Also known as Black Dragon-eye or Black Telescope, it makes a nice contrast to more brightly coloured fishes.
