The most distinctive feature of the Bubble eye is of course their eyes, which are fluid filled sacks. This causes the fish only to look up, that’s why floating food is a must in keeping these guys thriving in the aquarium. They should be kept in a tank with minimal ornaments and rocks to prevent them colliding into them. These guys are best kept on their own or with Celestials
