About

The calico bubble eye is a colour line that carries calico patterning on the bubble eye. Calico refers to a complex mottling of red, black and white; the pattern entered many breeds through crosses with the calico telescope, which carries mosaic transparent scales. The build is that of an ordinary bubble eye: no dorsal fin, upward-facing eyes, and a balloon-like sac on each side. The sacs hold lymph and never return symmetrically once torn. The amount of pale blue depends on how the transparent scales fall, so no two fish are marked alike. Swimming ability is equally limited, so avoid strong currents and exposed filter intakes. Patterning shifts as the fish grows, with the black receding and the red settling over several years.
