Overview
What to know before you buy.
A truly unique variety, the Celestial Eye Goldfish has permanently upturned, telescope eyes and lacks a dorsal fin. Their vision is extremely poor, and they are very delicate swimmers. They require a specialized setup with no sharp objects and should only be kept with other Celestial Eye or Bubble Eye goldfish.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Celestial Eye Goldfish healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Size the aquarium to Celestial 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 Celestial Eye Goldfish depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
