Red moor's make peaceful additions to community freshwater tanks with other goldfish or low-temperature tolerant tropical fish of a similar size. They are relatively easy to keep healthy if the tank is clean, well filtered, and they are fed a good diet. This makes them suitable for beginners.

A fully grown moor goldfish usually reaches 15-20cm, around 6-8" inches in length. Care must be taken not to house with smaller fish that can fit in its mouth, when it reaches adult size - black moor goldfish will happily swallow small tetra or similar tankmates.

Panda moor goldfish have distinctive black and white colouring, like a panda, and are one of the rare varieties of the species. This colouration is simply a lack of black pigmentation on a black moor goldfish, and can sometimes display flecks of traditional goldfish orange.
