To Katie, nothing is wrong with your bubble eye as mine have done the same thing. Goldfishes scales change color alot due to light, so thats normal

ive had my bubble eye for about 6 months now. when i bought him he was gold, and then he slowly started to turn white. other than changing color, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. anyone know why this could have happened??

I have a gold/black Big bug eyed goldfish..We’ve had it for about 7 mouths now..Well I started looking at him today and noticed,that one of his eyes is a liitle bit bigger than the other,maybe 20% bigger..
And the black center of his eye takes up half his eyeball now,and it also looks like I can see straght though it,like it’s just Hollow inside.Oh and there’s what seems to be a small looking air bubble at the top of the inside of the eyeball..

Any idea’s on what it could be??

the salty looking stuff Jj is,good for him/her it will help not to pop the cheeks or if it is green or yellow or like a blue.It is bad it means their cheeks can pop very very easily so like it says on part 3 keep sharp objects away from him/her .Also you havt to get a medicin for it ofcorce. also if you like see like if its a bubble eye not cheek if you see like a hole in its eye go right away to the pet stoor and ask for the Hole In Eye medicen. and with the bubble cheeks, if one of the cheeks pop he might die and might not but there is a medicin called bubble cheeks or ask if they have somthing for the poped cheek or cheeks. =-)

One of my bubble eyes bubbles is a dark red and really vainy and I cant figure out why. Does anyone know why that might be? It looks really bad but does not seem to affect it at all.

To bearclaw:

I don’t know what kind of tank you have your Bubble Eye in, but perhaps water pressure is the cause for the vessel rupture?

Goldies prefer aquariums that are long rather than deep. If you have a tall aquarium, you’d probably do better to lower the water table to prevent their delicate insides (and bubbles) from being under constant pressure.

Ideally, your fancy goldfish tank should have a water table as high as the tank is wide (deep). So an ideal aquarium for fancies would be something like this: 36L x 15d x 17h. Goldies do best in shallow ponds.

Anyway, lowering your water table will allow the two inches for rigorous water agitation since Bubble Eyes – like other fancies – prefer their water temps in the upper 70’s (76-78 F) and at those temperatures you need extra surface agitation to maintain high levels of oxygen.

A good sponge filter with power head will be necessary if you want good oxygenation of the water.

We’ve followed most of the requisite conditions for keeping bubble eyes. We’ve had ours for about 3 years. He’s hand fed, there are no sharp objects in the acquarium, the 2 other goldfish are friendly and are equally bad swimmers., etc.

We noticed one of his eyes is purple and very swollen (lots of fluid inside, perhaps a blood vessel rupture). his bubbles come and go in terms of being inflated.

Is there anything we can do? or do we just keep an eye on it?

Shouldn’t be a problem, but the flakes shouldn’t form the whole diet.

will they be able to eat goldfish flakes food like any other gold fish due to the bubbles on their cheeks.
