The Black Moor is a fancy species of goldfish also called the the Black Peony, or the Kuro-demekin in Japan. Black moor is essentially a velvet black variety of the telescope eye goldfish, although a black moor may have rounder fins and less forked tail than a telescope eye.

The Black Moor is one of the most popular breeds of goldfish. The Black Moor is often considered the most popular Chinese fish available. They have short, thick bodies with a hump around the shoulder area. They are typically a velvety black color. The most striking feature of the Black Moor is their eyes, which are large, and grow from the sides of their heads. At maturity, the Black Moor will reach a size of eight to ten inches. Black Moors typically have a life span ranging from six to twenty-five years.

The Black Moor was originated in China.
