Descending from the original genetic line of Comet goldfish, the bubble eye goldfish has been manipulated over countless generations to have this eye deformity as well as a double tail fin. Selective breeding has produced this fancy goldfish variety and others, such as Ranchus, Orandas, and fantails. These fish are never found in the wild unless they have been released by aquarists. Like all other goldfish, the bubble eye goldfish can be orange to yellow to white. If they have been bred with a Shubunkin goldfish, they may have a calico pattern. They will often have hunched bodies and a downturned tail peduncle. As their name denotes, these fish have a large sphere of fluid under each of their eyes. Contained within a delicate flap of skin, these protrusions may hinder your fish's ability to swim and forage. You will see these bulges wrinkle and bend with the movement of your fish, which is normal for this variety of goldfish.
