The funniest fish in the world is the "heavenly eye"

In the world there are a lot of varieties of aquarium fish. All of them are distinguished by some external features. But there is among them one pretty funny fish, at the sight of which a smile appears on the face of itself.

Goldfish without fin

Funny fish, whose name in Latin translates as "heavenly eye" refers to decorative aquarium fish. The first mention of this species appeared in the distant 1772 year. Several manuscripts were brought from China to Paris, telling of wonderful goldfish that do not have an upper fin and strike with their amazing eyes raised to the sky.

The appearance of these fishes is described even in ancient legends. The legends say that the "heavenly eye" was brought out in Buddhist monasteries. These fish, turning their eyes up, were able to look directly at God. They were revered, looked after them, like one of the sacred animals. This type of goldfish is still very popular among the Chinese. As before, they live in artificial ponds at monasteries.

Result of selection

Experts say that without the participation of man, the origin of this type of fish would be impossible. They were withdrawn under special conditions. The funniest fish in the world was excreted in special porcelain flasks, which were deprived of full access to sunlight. In the flasks there were small openings from above, through which light penetrated into the water. Therefore, in order to get at least a piece of solar energy, so necessary for life, the fish were looking their way up. After a while, the offspring began to appear with such eyes constantly. And they began to call superstition.

Characteristics

Many people think that decorative aquarium fish should certainly be small in size. The funniest fish, the photo of which you see in this article, differs from your brothers in quite a decent growth. The length of an adult reaches fifteen centimeters. She has a very short head and a small nose. As we noted earlier, there is completely no fin at the top. When selling experienced professionals immediately determine the true top. If on the back of the fish there is at least a slight hint of a fin or a strip along the body, then the price of such a gold fish will immediately drop dramatically.

The eyes of the fish are directed with pupils upward. The size of the eyes is quite impressive. They are fringed with a dense connective tissue and skin. "Celestial Eye" has a very beautiful tail cut in two. Verkhoglyady can boast of a luxurious tail, it is much more magnificent and larger than the usual aquarium inhabitants.

Also these fish are distinguished by a decent life expectancy. There have been cases when the men have survived to fifteen years. The average age is 10-12 years.

Conditions of detention

The funniest fish on the planet can live in any conditions. The main thing is that there is enough free space. Buddhist monks kept such fish in artificial reservoirs at monasteries. Today aquarists settle the "heavenly eye" into voluminous aquariums. As experts say, one fish, 13-15 centimeters long, should have fifty or sixty liters of water.

Due to the peculiarities of the structure of the eyes and head, the funny fish has some problems with feeding. In winter, the aquarium is recommended to be heated. Also these fish quite often suffer from various bacterial diseases. It is better to limit their "communication" with other fish and keep them in a separate aquarium.

Perhaps, it will not be easy and easy to name the content and breeding of the "heavenly eye". But many fans of aquarium fish, especially gold, assure that these wonderful funny creatures are worth it.
