What should I do about my bubble-eyed goldfish?

Question

I have a bubble-eyed goldfish and the inside of the bubble has a blood clot in it and is bleeding. I also noticed that there are more bubbles growing within the larger bubble. A while back I could see little white specs inside of the bubble and I figured it was ick so I treated the tank and the little specs were gone. But for some reason they keeping coming back into the fish's bubble. What should I do?

Answer 1

There really isn't anything you can do to be honest. Once a bubble is damaged in some way it will just have to heal on it's own. A second bubble growing inside the first is a sign that the first was damaged at some point. The best course of action for you to take is to leave it alone and let it sort it's self out.

Answer 2

If by accident a bubble gets compromised, it might take time, but in most cases it will grow back. It will not get his original shape and/or size, and the two bubbles in comparison will not look equal anymore, which is a big disadvantage in a show, but will not minimize the joy and fun you will have with a bubble eye at all.
One funny obversation I made with bubble eyes over the years - when they get older or get sick, they tend to slow down enormously. Not only resting a lot, but they will start to seem disoriented in the tank, floating around at times without being able to right them back up.

Go to the shop that sells fish & ask them for the right medication to put in the water as soon as you can before it gets any worse

Answer 4

That is why most genetically-manipulated or selectively-bred animals should NOT exist. There are lots of problems and it's not practical for the animal in many cases. It's solely for the enjoyment of people and it's disgusting..
