Goldfish Varieties-Bubble Eye

This variety is characterized by enlarge cheek sacks that contain fluid. The sacks grow to the extent that they cause the eyes to point upwards, somewhat like the Celestial; whose overall shape and form it somewhat resembles.
Coloration is varied. Finnage is similar to a fantail but lacking the dorsal fin. This breed is comparatively rare in the West but easily available in the Far East. In China, a variety with small bubbles under the lower jaw and celestial eyes is known as the froghead or toadhead.
