There are hundreds of different
types of freshwater tropical fish.
New Progress! We now have
our database in place and working. Currently we are working on adding
the fish information and pictures to the database. We will be adding over a hundred different types of
fish and their requirements, or needs, such as temperature, type of fish food,
compatibility, and more. We thank you for being patient during this time. We will also be collecting pictures of these fish and including them with
their information. This section is expected to be available Summer 2001.

The eyes are up turned ( Celestial) with a large fluid filled bladder beneath. These " bubbles" are delicate and are easily damaged. They will repair themselves in time. Care should be given to tank decorations and other fish to prevent damage. Are best kept with other Bubble eye or Celestrial goldfish. |
