I’m pretty fascinated with the Bubble Eye Goldfish.

Anything with massive “eye bladders” has my attention. In a cursory search, I couldn’t even find an adaptive explanation for these little sacks (they are easily punctured, but will heal and re-inflate). The eye bladders even create visual obstructions and get in the fish’s way quite often.

It’s like he has giant kidneys on his face…I love it…

This one is begging for a dramatic caption…

Bubble Eyes remind me of their relatives, the Celestial Eye Goldfish:

They are just so clumsy and adorably expressive. I co-owned one of these years ago, who was named “Champ.”
