Strange eye condition?

Hi Gunther,
Photo? Well I have the camera, but I know after a long session in the past
that it was rather tough...short of getting the thing out! He's only 3inches
long (bless) but I would like to ensure his well-being.

Certainly not a 'migrating' eye..sorry for the poor description.
Certainly not a true bubble eye G. Head on you can see he has a protruding
right eye, and it is almost all black with a small lighter outer ring. The
other side has a small black innner dot and a patchy pale outer ring...it is
also flat against the head and looks normal from the protrusion point of
view.

If you are still in the dark I will get the boy out and take a few pic's
each side.

Do write back (or if any others know or have an idea),

Best Wishes,

Nick Jones

Hello all,

I'm hoping that you can help me as one of my goldfish has developed a
strange eye condition. Basically, he is absolutely fine in himself,
feeding,
moving nicely, seems normal enough.
One eye has become very small and has only a very small amount of black
there now, whilst the other has become larger over time and the black
middle
has become big. It's as if the one eye has gone over to the other side.
He seems to be able to get around really well and can identify food no
problem despite this.


Weird.
Any chance you could post a photo of this condition?
You're describing two different things, actually....
Several types of fish (sole, halibut, flounder) go through a
"migrating eye" stage, but I've never heard of it in goldfish.

Or by "become larger" do you mean bulgy, like a telescope or
bubble eye? or flat but bigger across, like from dime- to
nickel-size?
