Celestial eye goldfish

Celestial eye goldfish is a double-tailed breed of fancy goldfish that has a breed-defining pair of telescope eyes which are turned upwards, pupils gazing skyward. The fish has an elongated egg-shaped body similar to the Bubble Eye. Celestial eye goldfish is also known as Stargazer Goldfish, Celestial Goldfish, Deme-Ranchu, Choten gan etc.

When the fry hatch, the eyes of young Celestials are normal but gradually protrude sideways, as in the Telescope eye goldfish, and then turn upwards within a period of six months.

With eyes that are permanently looking skyward, the Celestial Eye Goldfish is known by the Chinese as the Stargazer!

The body is short and stubby and they have a double caudal (tail) fin and a double anal fin. Their most distinctive feature is the eyes which extend out from the sides of the head and are locked into a permanent upward looking position. In juveniles the eye are normal, but within a short time the eyes begin to protrude and then the upturned vision develop and becomes locked in. They are most commonly seen with metallic scales colored shades of orange (called 'red' by fanciers), white, or red and white. Celestials with nacreous scales are known but rarely seen.

Since they are omnivorous, the Celestial Eye Goldfish will generally eat all kinds of fresh, frozen, and flake foods.
