Overview
What to know before you buy.
One of the most delicate goldfish varieties, the Bubble Eye is famous for its large, fluid-filled sacs under its eyes. These sacs are extremely fragile and can be easily damaged, so the fish must be kept in a tank with no sharp objects and only with other slow-moving, gentle tankmates. They are for experienced fishkeepers only.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Bubble Eye Goldfish healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Size the aquarium to Bubble Eye Goldfish's adult size and activity level. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6.5–8 and 18–22°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful. Keep it in a group for natural behaviour.
Tankmates
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding
Breeding success with Bubble Eye Goldfish depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
