Back in the 19th century, chinese aquarists used to keep goldfish in ponds. Because of this, they were unable to enjoy their fish (looking at them, see their face). So, bubble-eyes were developed and selectively bred to produce the trademark "sacs" you see today. This way, aquarists could enjoy their goldfish in ponds when looking from above (like giant eyes) If they burst, the sacs WILL grow back (in perfectly cycled-water and stress-free environment ofcourse). To heal them quickly, you can also add salt or melafix (but not necessary). It actually takes a HUGE force to burst them - again, they are tougher than you think. Poor water quality is actually the biggest factor for the bubble popping. One more thing - if the bubble does pop - it usually doesnt grow back to the same size/shape as the original. |

i feel sorry for those poor goldfish. having to swim around with a sac under your eyes like that - it can't be comfortable. i feel the same about dogs and cats with squashed faces, any animal that has been bred because we think it's cute or funny. i don't like it at all.

I would have to say that my Dojo loach is the ugliest fish I own. I would never buy one, but mine came from the brother when he was moving.
