THE GOLDFISH 185 Telescopes, thereby producing two new varieties which have become permanent—Scaleless Japanese Fringetails and Scaleless Veiltail Tele- scopes. Both have been bred for broad-tail qualities (veiltail), and may be considered an American variation. The characteristic points of the Scaleless Veiltail Telescopes are the same as those for the body and fin formation of the Japanese Fringetail and the eyes and coloring of the Chinese Telescope. The coloring almost always tried for is calico, but if a fish fails in this and still retains the other characteristics of the breed, it is considered a good fish. If the fish turns out black, it comes under the following classification. THE CHINESE MOOR TELESCOPE GOLDFISH. Fig. 158. The Chinese Moor The Moor is a most striking breed of the goldfish, its intense, vel- vety black color forming a rich contrast for the more gaily colored speci- mens in the aquarium. The intense blackness extends to every part of the fish except the under side of the belly. This shades off to a blue-gray or a slight golden tint. In the latter case the fish is likely to eventually turn gold. This is not certain, nor is the blue-gray a guarantee against turning, although it is less likely to do so. Breeders have not found that the greatest percentage of blacks is produced by using two blacks, but by crossing a deep red scaled fish with a black. A good Moor, with the body.
