Basic care information: A fancy goldfish variety recognized by its rounded body, flowing fins, and characteristic telescope eyes. Provide ample swimming space, strong biological filtration, good oxygenation, and regular water changes. Maintain clean, stable water around 18–24°C with a pH of approximately 6.0–8.0.
