The bubble fish, also known as bubble-eyed fish, are native to China, and are part of the variety de peces reds. In addition to this, they are one of the most attractive fish that we can find and have in an aquarium, since under each of their eyes they have a vesicle full of liquid, so it seems that they have two bubbles in suspension.
In the same way that celestial fishs, these bubble fish have a very elongated body and lack dorsal fins. It should be noted that the vesicles they have in their eyes can have different sizes and thicknesses. The larger the vesicles, the thinner your skin will be. However, the large vesicles are usually a bit heavier, so these little fish are forced to spend most of their time resting on the bottom of the aquarium.
Bubble fish can measure between 10 and 20 centimeters, depending on the type of body they have. Similarly, the Chinese variety is usually the smallest of all, while the other varieties that have the longer body are usually larger and heavier. Remember that if you provide these animals with the necessary care, their eye sacs They will continue to grow throughout their lives, although the life expectancy is about 5 to 10 years.
Since, as we mentioned, this little fish rests for a long time at the bottom of the aquarium, it is important that the gravel we use is rounded, to avoid possible damage or perforations in your vesicles. However, if any perforation occurs, these usually heal without problems. In the same way, if we must remove these animals from the aquarium, it will be important to take certain precautions, for example, we should not try to catch them with a net or by hand, since we could damage their eye vesicles, we should only try to catch them with a bag of plastic or a container.
