Red Telescope Head Goldfish
The red telescope head goldfish, also called the telescope eye goldfish, has a solid bright orange color that accents the extended eyes. These fish will not compete well with fast-moving species, so put food close to them. They may look very pretty, but they are a little slow.
The telescope eye feature was created by selective breeding in China at the end of the 16th century, and most of the standard colors today were further refined in Japan.

I bought this goldfish for my first aquarium. It’s peaceful and looks great. I just make sure to feed it near the surface since it doesn’t swim fast.
