Do Not Mess With Fish 175,

and you thought fish were fun!


some might think a goldfish like this looks like a Frankenfish, but fish like this have been breed for hundreds of years, this is a bubble eye goldfish at the 2012 Beijing Goldfish Competition held in the National Agriculture Exhibition Center, some 1,000 fish in more than 60 goldfish breeding groups from 30 provinces and municipalities are vying for 86 prizes in 17 categories and are being judged as to which is the best of breed, in case you are wondering why goldfish were bred like this looking up wards, many years ago before the invention of glass fish were kept in porcelain bowls, so you had to look down on the fish and not view them through the sides of an aquarium, so varieties were bred that looked appealing from above, so through careful breeding varieties like the one above were produced and are still highly prized today.
