Bubble Eye Goldfish

A Few Things About Your Goldfish That You Should Know About

Bubble eye goldfish (without a dorsal fin) can be found in the wild by looking for them in communities such as yours. However, they are now becoming popular in pet stores and some people even choose to create their own pet bubble eye goldfish. Before you get started with owning a pet bubble eye goldfish, there are some things that you should know about this amazing fish. Here are some things that every goldfish owner should know about this fish.

Bubble Eye Goldfish (no dorsal fin) found in the wild have an egg-shaped body shape with large pouches under its eyes. The Bubble Eye usually has an egg-shaped dorsal fin that does not have a true dorsal fin at the very base. The pair of large cocks of flesh attached at the top of the body is actually the Bubble Eye’s dorsal fin. A small gap between these two fins is its anus, which may appear to have no visible anus or maybe just a very small hole. The eggs (or larva) float freely inside the poucks on the top of the goldfish’s body.

The best way to feed your bubble eye goldfish is by using compressed air. A feeding hose will also do because it helps squeeze out the food into the small air pockets where it is needed. A feeding hose will make your life much easier since you do not need to remove all the air manually. This type of goldfish usually grows to be just 3 inches long when fully grown. They are active feeders so they will need to be fed often throughout the day but if left alone, they will only consume food at night.

In relation to their eating habits, goldfish in the tank with a Carassius auratus grow to be about one inch in length and eat mostly pellets. They will eat almost everything-live and dry food, bugs, crustaceans, worms, and even other types of vegetables. When it comes to feeding your tank, it’s wise to use a cylindrical plastic tube that has a hole at the bottom for air circulation around the tank. Some goldfish hobbyists place a chunk of foodstuff in the water-bubble eye, then cover the whole with a glass jar lid.

One of the important things to keep in mind about goldfish is that they need proper tank maintenance just like any other fish in the aquarium. A goldfish can reach up to thirty-two inches in length and therefore, they can get really messy if their owners are not quick enough in removing their goldfish from the tank. Goldfish poop can comprise of such properties as sulfur and ammonia and therefore, if they are present in the tank, they should be cleaned up immediately. However, goldfish poop is not the only element that can be a danger. Fish waste and dead skin cells from their gills can also pose hazards in the tank.

Goldfish can live for more than ten gallons in the wild. Most hobbyists keep them around four gallons because this is what they considered a large home aquarium. Therefore, ten gallons is the ideal tank size for most goldfish. Just be sure that the water is at a good temperature all day and night because too little light can cause dead algae in the aquarium which can also be a danger for your goldfish.
