Description

Except for its enlarged projecting eyes, the demekin is similar to the ryukin. It has a deep body and long flowing fins. Demekins are available in red, red-and-white, calico, black-and-white, chocolate, blue, lavender, chocolate-and-blue and black coloration. They may either have metallic or nacreous scales. Telescope eyes can grow quite large.

Variants

Black demekins are also referred to as moors such as the black moor and the panda moor.

pecial care

Due to the telescope eye's poor vision, it should not be mixed with more active goldfish varieties, and should be housed in an aquarium without sharp or pointed objects.
