Celestial Eye Goldfish

Did you know that the celestial eye goldfish was developed by the Chinese and Later on improved by the Japanese by selective breeding until the point when his eyes are constantly looking upward?

Found this piece of information here.

Maybe it is just me but I kind of feel sorry for the little fellow for not being able to look at any other direction.

Anyway he is a very interesting fish and it was mostly the process of artificially changing a fish just to be able to call his stargazer and attribute him all kind of properties that has caught my attention.

    That’s an interesting fish as well as an example of selective breeding going too far. I doubt the poor thing could live in the wild.
