The Story of Bulbous Eyes
When you think of a goldfish, the image that usually comes to mind is of a simple-shaped fish, gliding peacefully in a bowl. However, the big-eyed goldfish, also called Telescope Goldfish or Demekin , is a stunning variation that cannot be ignored. Its enormous bubble-shaped eyes give it a cartoon-like look. Native to Asia, this species was bred for its distinct physical characteristics.
Special Care
With eyes like these, it's no surprise that the Demekin requires special attention:
-
Habitat : This fish's large eyes are delicate. Avoid any sharp objects in the aquarium that could injure its eyes.
-
Food : Their vision is somewhat limited due to their bulging eyes. Opt for foods that sink slowly, giving them time to spot and consume them.
-
Tank Mates : Big-eyed goldfish are peaceful. Be sure to pair them with other gentle fish to avoid conflicts.
