The differences between the broadtail moor and the Far Eastern moor (black dragon eye) can be observed by comparing the pictures of British fish with the pictures above of moors photographed in Hong Kong (December 2000) and at BAS 2009: the latter fish have superb eye development and deep black colouration, rounded pectoral and pelvic fins and the deeply forked tail characteristic of oriental twintails.
Unusual moors with fantail-style finnage. These fish have superb colour and eye development; they also have a very slight ryukin-style dorsal hump and could perhaps equally well be called black demekins. (Photographed in December 2003).
Chinese moors photographed in Hong Kong in 2022: fish with superb eyes and colour and well-developed broad tails, but with short round pectoral and pelvic fins. Seen together with red globe eyes, which in shape and finnage are essentially red versions of the same fish.
The fish were photographed in a tank on the floor of a shop (so no side views were possible) in the Tung Choi Street goldfish market, Kowloon.
