Goldfish – Calico Bubble Eye Medium (Carassius auratus) 5cm

Goldfish – Calico Bubble Eye Medium (Carassius auratus) 7cm

The most intriguing feature of the Bubble Eye Goldfish is its bubbles. The bubbles on this goldfish begin to develop when it is 6-9 months old, leading to the name Water-Bubble Eye. By the time these goldfish are 2 years old, the bubbles are very large. These water-filled bubbles actually get so big that they can even make it difficult for this fish to see and swim

These fancy goldfish have a very intriguing appearance, but their bubble sacs are easily broken. The sacs are notorious for getting caught in the water uptake valves of aquarium filters. A foam cover over the valve should help prevent this. Most the time, broken bubbles will grow back but have a different shape and size that does not match the other bubble. Sometimes a broken bubble will not grow back at all. Additionally, broken bubbles heal slowly and are subject to infection, so keep an eye on your fish and be ready to treat it if necessary.
