Why choose Telescope Eye Goldfish?

Telescope Eye Goldfish are famous for their large protruding eyes, which develop as they mature and give them one of the most distinctive appearances of any fancy goldfish. Combined with their rounded body and flowing fins, they create an elegant and eye-catching display in any aquarium.

These fish are available in a wide variety of colours including black, red, orange, calico, chocolate, panda and bi-colour varieties. Because this listing is for assorted Telescope Eyes, the exact colour and pattern you receive will vary, making every fish unique.

Although they have reduced vision compared to standard goldfish, Telescope Eyes quickly learn feeding routines and often recognise their owners. They thrive when housed with other slow-swimming fancy goldfish that won't outcompete them for food.

NTA Insight:
One of the biggest misconceptions about Telescope Eye Goldfish is that their eyesight makes them difficult to keep. While their vision isn't as sharp as other goldfish, they adapt extremely well in a suitable aquarium. We recommend feeding sinking foods in a calm environment so every fish has plenty of opportunity to eat without competition from faster tank mates.

FAQ

How big do Telescope Eye Goldfish grow?

Most adults reach approximately 15–20 cm in length when kept in spacious aquariums with excellent water quality.

Why do they have large eyes?

Their protruding eyes are the result of selective breeding over many generations and are one of the defining features of this fancy goldfish variety.

Can they live with Comet Goldfish?

It's generally not recommended. Comets are much faster swimmers and often outcompete Telescope Eyes for food. Fancy goldfish are happiest with other fancy varieties.

Do they need a heater?

Usually no. Telescope Eye Goldfish are coldwater fish and are comfortable at normal indoor temperatures in most Australian homes. Stable temperatures are more important than warm temperatures.

Will I receive the exact fish shown?

No. This listing is for assorted Telescope Eye Goldfish. Colours and patterns vary, so each fish is individually selected from available stock.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Why do livestock prices sometimes change?

    Unlike manufactured products, fish and shrimp continue to grow and develop over time. Their value changes as they increase in size, develop colour, or become breeding pairs.

    Our prices are based on the current size, quality and availability of each specimen. While pricing often remains stable for around 3–4 months, it may be updated at any time to reflect these changes.

    We always aim to offer healthy, high-quality livestock at fair and competitive prices.

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
