brine shrimp betta

Hello. So sweet that you are taking on an injured bubble eye. Really
sad that he is hurt. I can't answer about your brine shrimp but know a
tiny amount about bubble eyes. I was tempted to get one as my daughter
loves them. I was advised not to as they don't have a dorsal fin and
are a lot slower and will not get as much food as the other fish I
have. I was told that they only do well with other bubble eyes and
celestials. Occasionally with telescope eyes. I should think they
might be alright with lion heads too as they have no dorsal fins. Just
my opinion there. To be honest if it meant that a fish might perish
because nobody wants him, then I wouldn't hesitate to put him in with
my other fish and I'd just watch him like a hawk at meal times.

Hope that helps. As you know, I don't have much experience. All this
come from when I was looking at getting a bubble eye. I'd still like
one. So cute.

Not so!!!! They're as aggressive feeders and as fast as the Orandas (with
dorsal fins) and compete well with them and lionheads for the food. Unless
they have excessively large bubbles they do fine with other GF. Shubunkins
and comets are so fast and agile they shouldn't be kept with any fancy GF.

I was told that they only do well with other bubble eyes and
celestials.

I also have celestials and they need to be by themselves as they go by scent
whereas the bubble eyes can see the food. Celestials are for the most part
blind.

They're adorable. :-)) I have 7 of them.

I dont know if he is a bubble eye, his bubbles were below his eyes like his
checks, very think layer of skin it seemed like it was my first encounter
with them
Nik
yeah i only decided to get him because of his situation

Hi, it does sound like a bubble eye. Wish I'd spoken with Koi-lo
before I'd listened to somebody and was talked out of buying one.
They told me that the fantail and Ryukin will beat it to the food
everytime. That will teach me to listen to others :-)

Good luck with the little guy, Nikki. Hope you enjoy him as much as
the others
