I had a black bubble eye exactly like the one in the photo. ):
He was my first fish...and he died of a major fungas overgrowth...he was given to me already covered in the stuff and no matter what I did, it just didn't help. u.u

He was so lovely. ;.;

I don't actually like any other bubble eys apart from black ones. xD
I think the black ones look less freaky.

The black ones are beautiful, aren't they? :heart They are also the ones with the most unstable color, unfortunately. If you get lucky and have a bigger bubbleeye that is still black, consider yourself lucky. :)

You got any pictures of your black darling, Tankgirl? Anybody else with bubble eye pics?

He does float and it really bothers me but you gotta love them. He's tank mate keeps watch over him and never goes to far.
Louie is such a pig he cant get enough when I feed them peas. He has such a cute personallity its not funny.
I have been looking for an orange bubble-eye or a calico but havent found "the right one" Like when it came to louie I new right away he was the one.

I'm so sorry for the late reply! I've been SO busy here atm, I'm ashamed to say I haven't even thought of coming on here. ^^;
I only have photos of when we were taking him out the tank and putting him in a tub...so he's actually in a tiny bowl...ignore that. D'=
And it's VERY blurry. x_X;
*Sigh* It's horrible looking at these photos...he was so unhappy. u.u

i love my bubble eye!his my freaky pinky!(pinky is his name lol)

[Meialoha]

I've never seen anything like these! When I saw them, I think I actually gasped. They look like they have huge eye infections. Takes a while to get used to. Sorry; don't mean to be offensive, but wow, they are... "different". Will read more. Thanks for the pictures and the info.

Here's a really lousy one and only pic of my brand new still nameless guy. Maybe Bazooka or HubbaBubba? Chiclet? I'd just done a water change, and boy flash shows up water streaks! S/he has an ugly lumpy back and tail, but the white with the red bubbles and eyes, and s/he just kept following me... :wub:

(there's a whole width of the tank between him and Snotface- he's such a tadpole next to The Thing That Ate New York! S/he's not been aggressive at all, though- if such a waddler could manage to be aggressive)
I love the calicos best, my 1st bubble eye was a calico. And the black ones look like my late lamented Bubba- the one I had 15 years. He never decolored. :shrug: I did get him at a store that had really nice quality imported fish, back around '82. He was a great fish.

don't you hate it when fish start doing that?

[AngieH]

Love the bubble eyes...I have 2. :)

What do you all do for tank lighting. Anytime I have put the hood light on they just panic and freeze. Now they just get light from the room.

[joejoe88_88]

WOW! Black Bubble Eye looks SO COOL!!

I'd be waaay to scared to try and take care of one, they look awsome though...maybe one day I'll have advanced at least enough to get an oranda! :rolleyes:

[Ranchugirl]

Angie, newly purchased fish are skiddish at first, but will get used to it after a while. Just give it time, and try to avoid fast and sudden movements. Approach them slowly, and best - pribe them with some food. After a while they make the connection of the "big scary person" being the food supply. :D

[Mr shubunkin]

definatly not the cutest creature in the world :P but i its starting to grow on me lol wouldn't trade my fish for it thou.
