Fish/Blackmoor Telescope Fish

Expert: Chris Robbins - 1/20/2005


Question
I've had my blackmoor telescope fish ,Othello,since July '04 and here it is Jan '05 and he is still thriving.  He had the company of a regular goldfish Desdemona but she died.  I hope he didn't kill her.  He's been alone since October. I feed him twice a day.  I change the water once a month. He has survived some weekends without feeding but I don't like doing that. My question is, am I doing right by Othello so far?  He seems to be ok.  Is he lonely?

Answer
Hi George;

What size tank is he in?
Does it have a filter?
What kinds of foods do you feed him?

Let me know as soon as you can......
