Bubble Eye Goldfish


Bubble Eye Goldfish



                          The bubble eye goldfish is identified by the eye bladders situated beneath each eye. These large, fluid-filled sacs can be cumbersome, and so this breed is a slow swimming fish. They should be housed without sharp ornaments and plants as these may puncture the eye bladders. These will grow back, but should be tended to carefully as damaged eye bladders may be prone to infection. The eyes are located above these sacs and point upward, which causes sight impairment in this breed. Bubble eyes have double tails and no dorsal fin. The body shape is narrower when viewed from above than fantail and ranchu breeds. They can grow to between 6 and 8 inches in length.

BETTA FISH FEEDING


Feeding

               Betta fish are not big eaters but should be fed a small amount once a day to once every other day. Betta fish are easy to feed, they can be fed floating flake food, freeze dried blood worms, live black worms, frozen brine shrimp or betta pellets, the last of which can be bought from an aquarium store.

Betta pellets are a type of small, round edible pellets that can be fed on most betta species. Betta pellets are made out of crude protein, crude lipids, crude fiber, crude ash, moisture,phosphorus, carbohydrates, certain vitamins, and other ingredients. 

Diet


               Wild Betta fish are hardy and can eat almost anything in its living environment including: living worms, larvae of mosquitoes or other insects, and even smaller fish. Their natural living environment is often resource-limited so many Betta species have little choice of food.
