Wow, this is news to me. I bought my fish labelled as Comets. They are
obviously sarassas; their coloration is in varying patterns of the
red-orange and white, and I only paid about 3.50 for each.

they really arent pond fish.... OTOH, there are Tosakins for shallow (but
protected!!) ponds. they are not mixed with single tailed big comets or koi. the
eye bubbles are not that delicate and if broken they usually re inflate. LOL... GF
do come in most of the same colors as koi... and some are violet and quite blue. But
they are not really pond fish unless this is a very pampered, heated pond. Ingrid

Muffin,

A friend in California breeds and keeps his bubble-eyed goldfish in ponds
year 'round. I have bubble-eyes in my pond. The only thing that you have
to remember is that usually stay mid to bottom in the pond and there should
be no sharp edges in the swim area. They get a long fine.

Actually it was a hard copy of Water Gardening Magazine.
The May/June issue has an article about the celestial-eye
and the July/August has an article about the bubble-eye.

y' know ... I was thinking about Anita
(last name escapes me) claiming the in-pond bog was a
new "concept" ... (she's the gal who "invented" it)
Looked almost as bad as my veggie filter did when I went
ahead and added gravel to it. I meant to mention this
to the "inventor" but never got around to it. She claims it never needs to
be cleaned ........ humm

They certainly do have a link to subscribe! It's $24.99 for 1 year, $39.99
for 2 years, $59.99 for 3 years (US addresses only).

I found this place http://www.magazinesofamerica.com/6695-6.html that offers
$20 for 1 year, $35 for 2 years, and $50 for 3 years. Not much savings, but
hey 5 bucks'll spend.

I subscribed :)

Hi Everyone,
I don't know if we just got lucky but last fall a friend gave me a few
goldfish and two bubble eyes. I put them in my pond with my koi,
goldfish and shubunkins. We had an extremely cold winter here on Long
Island, New York. Fortunately both bubble eyes survived the winter. In
mid spring I had to move them to a smaller pond because one of them was
getting knocked around by the larger goldfish while spawning. Last week
my hubby saw two bubble eyed babies in the smaller pond ( 1200 gallons
). Both adults are doing fine.

Bonnie,

It is a common misconception that Bubble-eyes are in some way delicate.
Personally, I have never had a bubble deflate. In fact, I breeder I know
actually removes the bubbles from his Bubble-eyes to assist them in
breeding. What is interesting is that he has found the best utensils
remove them is a surgical knife or new razor blades. They are a lot tougher
than most expect. Although if you have six fish in a breeding frenzy, there
is a chance that they will get damaged, which is the reason he removes them.
His breeders are usually about 6 to 8 inches and the bubbles are anywhere
from 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
