Bubble Eye

Bubble Eye

The Bubble Eye is a small variety of fancy goldfish with upward pointing eyes that are accompanied by two large fluid-filled sacs.It is a dorsal-less fish, and good specimens will have a clean back and eye bubbles well matched for colour and size. The bubbles are fragile and the fish should be kept separately from boisterous types and away from sharp tank decor, although the bubbles will regrow if punctured. Given proper accommodation, the bubbles do not disadvantage the fish and they become very tame."Fancy Goldfish: A Complete Guide to Care and Collecting" by Dr. Erik L. Johnson, D.V.M. and Richard E. Hess, Weatherhill, Shambala Publications, Inc., 2006 - ISBN 0-8348-0448-4] It is known as suihogan in Japan.

Coloration

Bubble Eyes come in many color patterns such as red, red-and-white, black, gold and calico.

Social behaviors

Goldfish are very social animals and thrive in a community. Not only are they a great community fish but they are great scavengers as well. It is really not necessary to add other scavengers or other bottom feeders to the aquarium when you have goldfish.

Special care

Bubble eyes are inexpensive and they are very commonly seen as other goldfish. It is not recommended for beginners because the eye sacs can get punctured if it is not handled carefully. [ [http://petcaretips.net/bubble-eye-goldfish.html Free Information Keeping Bubble Eye Goldfish ] ] This goldfish requires a special aquatic environment because they are relatively poor swimmers due to their impaired vision, and cannot compete with more active goldfish. So there is a chance of losing their food to other active fishes. Their "bubbles" can be easily sucked into the filter intake. These bladder-like swellings can also be easily damaged by any sharp-edged rocks and tank decorations.Bubble eye and fancy goldfish varieties may remain healthy up to 90°F.
