Bubble eye tricolor,red/white,calico,red/black,red 6-7cm






Carassius auratus "Bubble Eye Goldfish"
Eli Goldfish Farm
Starting at: $0.99

Bubble Eye Goldfish have the slender body and double tail of the telescope and the up-turned gaze of the celestial eye, but their unique trait is a large translucent bubble beneath each eye. These delicate, water filled sacs can make mobility difficult, so try to minimize the flow in the tank and avoid equipment with strong intake.

They have rounded bodies, split, double tails, and they are available in several color varieties including red, red and white, blue, "Panda", calico, yellow, brown, white, and the ever popular red cap.

Red Cap Oranda

Scientific Name: Carassius auratus
Recommended Aquarium: 30+ Gallons
Approx. Adult Size: 8 to 10 inches
Temperament: Peaceful
Ease of Care: Easy
Diet: Omnivore
Native Waters: Eli Goldfish Farm

The Red Cap Oranda is white with a bright orange "beret." Hand-selected for unique coloration and overall superior health, these exotic goldfish are tended to by the PetSolutions husbandry staff following their importation. Hardy and long-lived, they can survive cooler temperatures. Extended periods below 15ºC or above 25ºC may not be tolerated well. Because they need some vegetable matter, they may cause damage to finer-leaved plants, but typically do no damage to thicker, hardy bog plants. While flake food will suffice for these fish, many aquatic professionals recommend a good-quality pellet food of no more than 30% protein to help keep these premium specimens in ideal health.

It is important to note that just like all other goldfish and koi, these fish will have color changes as they get older. Small Panda Butterflys will have very little color. When Panda Butterflys reach maturity they may be black and white, black and white and orange, pure white, or any variation of those colors. They can survive cooler temperatures. Extended periods below 15ºC or above 25ºC may not be tolerated well. Because they need some vegetable matter, they may cause damage to finer-leaved plants, but typically do no damage to thicker, hardy bog plants.
