Black Moor Cross

[[email protected]]

We put a few Black Moors in our pond 2 years ago. Las fall we noticed a few
odd looking fish. It seems that the Black Moors have crossed bred with a
goldfish and now we have several very odd looking fish. I've uploadeda
picture of one. If you would like to see it go to

Beautiful! :-)

I wonder if they would breed true?

You're right, that is a very odd looking fish. Interesting though.

Looking at the picture, this does not nesseccerily mean that it's a cross
bred Moor and something else. Goldfish often revert to thier natural
colourings (olive green-black) especially when kept in ponds. My Father has
many fish that have shown this colouration gradually over time. No Moors
have ever been kept in his pond (UK - too cold for Moors outside).

This fish has the fins of a Black Moor and the body shape somewhat but also
sows many traits of the Goldfish. Our pond is in Ontario Canada and our
winters get pretty severe. We build a small greenhous out of 2x2s and
plastic sheeting. Even at 20 below zero outside we have managed to keep it
ice free. We do use a small pond heater too, just incase. You can see more
pictures of the greenhouse at this site.

I thought he was too... :-)
I'm wondering if they will breed true?

I'm hoping the OP will keep us updated, and try to get a clearer
photograph!
