Unless you are already familiar with it, chances are you would think the image above is some silly ai generation.
Turns out, as I found out today, that dogs isn't the only animal where humans have created all kinds of dumb looking breeds. The same is true for goldfish 😂
What you see above is a breed of goldfish known as...the Bubble Eye goldfish.
The Bubble Eye is a small variety of fancy goldfish with upward-pointing eyes that are accompanied by two large fluid-filled sacs. It is a dorsal-less fish – good specimens will have a clean back and eye bubbles that match in color and size. The bubble eye goldfish lacks a dorsal fin and has a double tail. They normally grow up to 3 to 4 inches in length. source
These bubbles are quite easy to puncture so care must be taken if owners want their fishy to stay safe. So sharp objects or other aggressive species are a big no no.
Still, even if they pop the bubbles can regenerate although that increases the risk for infection.
And in case you wonder, no the bubbles have no useful role for the fish. They only make it harder to swim, eat, see and do all the other stuff gold fish usually do.
Tldr, just another dumb thing humans have created to satisfy their vanity 😂
Here's a video showing these weird ball sacks in action. They sure look annoying as fuck
Ok, that's it for today's weirdness. Feel free to visit wikipedia if you want to learn more about these silly looking creatures 😂

Now I can't stop wondering how many people have actually bought one just to pop its bubbles 😂
