The Black Moor is also known as the Demenkin. These are my favourite variety of goldfish. The flash brings out some of the vestigal gold in the scales.

what a fabulous macro of him!! hard to shoot thru glass and you have done it perfectly black fish are especially hard to shoot!! WOW ! WE have one in our tand that lives with a large goldfish he is smaller but chases her around night and day lol.. excellent shot!
It's funny you mention that...I have two of these in a tank of other much larger goldfish and these little guys do chase the others around a lot. It must be characteristic of this variety.
just going to log out then you appear.. hehehe.. matti. love the quality of the capture.. that eye..beautiful presentation.. they say fish have a memory of 7 sec's, always wonder how they know.!!!!!! outstanding matti..:)
Love how you captured the glimmer. You have an impressive gallery.
Kew, kewl, picture! VOTE
bloop bloop.. golden glimmer.. yes, not so easy to catch :]
Maybe the blacks are males and the bigger fish are female? The mystery of the cahsing balck goldfish :) Good name for a song. TY RA for youre comments, brings a warm hart.
Bravo Matt not an easy subject to capture so well
I am not going to lie, this took some time to accomplish...there are a lot of factors involved here.
Beautiful capture of this relative of the goldfish! :)
Why are you so black? Please, have a look on last Kro's post, dear... ;-)
Does a fish have a mouth? 'Cos I think this one has a very funny looking mouth, which, together with the eye, give him the most surprised expression, it's really funny :) It shows you got an extremely fine piece of work done on this - getting that quality of capture couldn't have been easy. I love the 'old gold' tones he's wearing and the blue sets it off very well, too. The only thing I'd remove is that tiny red dot under the eye, makes it seem a bit creepy. Unless, of course, that's what you were going for. An outstanding capture! :)
Very strong shot! You have a lot of really good images in your gallery. Impressive!
