Calico Telescope Goldfish, The Telescope Goldfish has an egg-shaped body with large protruding eyes (buggy eyes) that looks like those of a dragon. The eyes are also dome-shaped and are wider at the base than the tip. Initially bred in China as an experiment, this fish is now popular all over the world. The goldfish of today are descendants of a wild carp fish, known as the Prussian Carp, Silver Prussian carp, or Gibel Carp Carassius gibelio. The Calico Telescope Goldfish inhabit the slow moving and stagnant waters of rivers, ponds, lakes, coves, and ditches feeding on plants, small crustaceans, detritus, and insects. Goldfish were originally developed in China, but by the 1500's goldfish were traded to Japan, to Europe in the 1600's, and to America by the 1800's. The majority of the fancy goldfish were being developed by Oriental breeders and sold. The results of this centuries long breeding is the beautiful goldfish colors and formsthat we see in the gold fish today. In America, all Telescopes tend to be referred to as "Moors", though technically that label only applies to Black telescopes gold fish. Their poor eyesight means they are very clumsy when it comes to detecting and avoiding danger. They need an environment where they can't damage their eyes by bumping into stuff, so no sharp objects should be in their tank. The sacs of Bubble Eyes can grow back, but once a telescope's eye is punctured, its damaged for ever.
