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?
