I have had one black moor that was an easy 10-12 inches in length and
it covered pretty much the entire bottom of a 5 gal plastic bucket. I
have two outside ina 220 gal preform and they are an easy 8 inches in
length..and they are relatively young.

years. I had some and put them in my outdoor pond and the pond froze when the
greenhouse collapsed. havent been able to find any since then. sigh. Ingrid

They sound lovely.
Moors go a dark- orange-ish color when older, right?
How long do they stay dark, like when little?
I've also heard that they are on the delicate side, as goldies go.
I wonder if that's true or a myth?

I had the opportunity to cleanout a ladies pond and fill it in as she
adopted a little kid, and the pond was trouble. IIRC she said she
bought that house and the pond andfish were already there and the
house was perhaps 8 years old then. The Black Moors as well as a ton
of other fish and equipment were all in that pond. I was really
dumbfounded when I started to drain that pond after assuming I had
caught all the koi and goldies etc, to find these big black fish in
there, that turned out to be black moors. which were HUGH! Yes the
older they get they get a / goldish orange color on their bottom side,
but it only makes them look more distinguished. We named the biggest
one The Phantom as it was hard to see in a pond and would just show up
begging for food, and actually swim along the sides of a 1+ acre mud
pond followoing you along side all the while wanting more food. As far
as I now it is still in there as I seen it and the others (5 more
Moors total that I now about) about 2 weeks ago, so that makes them in
that pond about 6 years now that I have them. I seen them just before
I went to Costa Rica this last time. These Moors definately have long
flowing tails and remind you of a peekineese dog or afghan hound with
their long flowing fins......As to being delicate, I dunno, they have
done fine in that mud pond with koi that are as large as 30+ inches
and show no signs of wear and trear. My pond rarely ever gets into the
50's so cold water is not a problem here. They are all well over the
10 inch mark
