I would feed a black moor something that sinks. That way he can go about eating on the bottom of the tank, where he just can scurry around, instead of chasing after the food on top of the tank. The worms and things they float so much around the tank, that its hard for the rather eye handicapped black moor to always see them.

As for the other goldfish eating his food, try feeding the fish on one end of the tank, and the black moor on the other. Teaching him how to take food out of your hand is also a big help for him.....smile.gif

That's definitely a tough one. Before I knew anything about goldfish I had a two inch comet. Then I decided to get a black moor and a lionhead that were bigger than him. My comet was so scared that he wouldn't come out of hiding for four hours. Now he's almost twice as big as the other two and big piggy! lol.GIF I notice that he eats fast and quick so I always give a little extra for him. Also, I notice that my black moor will follow the other fish to get food. So, despite my black moor being slower he has developed a system to get food. Food goes in the tank, the other two goldies go nuts, and he follows them!
Yeah, I would try feeding him at the opposite side of the tank. Of course I tried that with my fish and that durn comet Frankie just zooms accross the tank and always sees the food!
