About Celestial Eye
The Celestial goldfish is a relatively small variety of goldfish. They have a torpedo-shaped body with a curved back similar to the Bubble Eye, which lacks a dorsal fin. Their paired fins are of the Fantail or Ryukin type. The caudal may be half as long, to as long, as the body. Celestials are available in different colors including white , red, and many colors in between. The scales can be either nacreous or metallic in appearance. It is rare to find celestials with nacreous scales. Despite their limited vision and their lack of a dorsal fin, they are active and agile swimmers. They do require some special attention since, apart from sporting easily damaged upward-oriented eyes, and having limited vision, they are also sensitive to cold water temperatures. They are unable to compete with more vigorous goldfish for food. Sharp ornaments and objects in the aquarium are contraindicated. They are best kept with other limited-vision breeds (i.e the Bubble Eye) or in a tank of their own.
