What happened to our Goldfish's Eye?

- A few weeks ago one of our goldfish lost their eye. We've no idea how it happened. We made sure to keep the tank water very clean to reduce the chance of infection. Goldfish eyes are very delicate and are easily damaged, make sure you have no sharp edges in the tank and suitable tank mates. They can survive and find food with no eyes, they can adapt very well.

She is so pretty, even with one eye. So glad she bounced back as quickly as she did.
Ive never been emotional but my goldfishes eyes were eaten by the other fish and i started bawling and sobbing so much.
I had the same problem.. Its a very sad feeling broke my heart
Same
What to do in this situation same with me I am searching for solution right now it's a koi fish
:(
You guys take perfect care of your fish. I've been wanting a couple of fish for a while but I want to wait til I'm able to buy the tank, the heater etc and your channel helps me a lot with figuring out what I need for them and how to properly care for them so I want to thank you for that.
Thank you!
I'd highly recommend attaching a sponge filter to the filter intake to prevent possible injuries. Could be she was sleeping at night and the flow pushed her towards the filter intake and sucked her eye out 😬? Aquarium salt baths would also be a good idea to prevent infection. Other than that, don't worry about her too much. She at least has her other eye to guide her (: I have an old partially blind betta that lives a happy life just fine. And I'm sure your little one will do so too, it just takes some readjusting is all (which she seems to be doing great at). It also helps that she has been in the same exact environment before and after the incident. That'll make things much easier for her.
Poor girl. She's cute anyway :)
Thanks.
Lifewithpets . Hi, I've come to watch this video again for reassurance. I bought a veryyoung calico fantail today with only one eye. I got it for £2 as it's been at the lfs for over a mth and really needed a new home. Now I'm a little worried about it getting it's share of food with my bigger fish being such gluttons. I feed 4 or 5 times a day so hope it can get a decent amount. I think this fish was either born this way or lost it's eye when very young. I really hope he copes as well as yours does.
Awwwwwwww that's so sad ...... she's still looking good and seems very happy 😍
Oh my. Its always the worst when completely unforeseen things happen with out pets. I'm glad she is doing well.
Thank you. She does seem to be happy and doing well.
Pls tell what u guys did afterwards ..my goldfish after loosing eye lost appetite...what should I do
The same happened with my gold fish too and unfortunately she lost both her eyes . I feel so sorry for her but by scrolling through web I got to know that this happened due to bacterial infection which is mainly caused due to poor maintenance of tank or dirty water. and ya , if another fish had eaten the eye then there would have been blood or tissue damage , but in this case the eye has popped out of its place on its own .I just hope this helps clear out the difference between eye popping and biting and don't worry , fishes can survive without eyes as they have receptors on their skin and hence they can detect any movement in water .
Aww poor fish, it might of been one of the other fishes but never know. Glad she's okay though!
Wow, I never seen that happen to a gold fish or even hearing about it. I feel bad for her, it's hard to see your pet go though something like that. She looks good and happy.
Yes, it was quite a shock to us! But she seems very happy.
We have a ranchu where something similar happened. And now it has lost the other eye. It has been two months and this little goldfish continues to do well. None of the other goldfish are having other issues - all well.
Hi. when I work at a aquatic's , sometimes goldfish lost an eye by accident and were fine. but at times you got a bully in the tank and use to attack and eat the eyes of other fish. Keep observing the other fish to make sure no bulling is going on, some fish get the taste for eyes and have to be separated from the rest.
Hello i want to ask you please did tiger fish eat goldfish eye the small tiger ? Thank you
@@wolfankoud5213 lmao my goldfish lost both eyes too i don't know how, but i have a lot of fish on the same auquarium but they are not aggressive
@@anashellfire4216 yep one of the goldfishes is addicted to eating eyes is all and he doesn't even act aggressive they just sneaky murderers
this wat happened to my gold fish 😭
It also happened to one of my angel fish. It lost its eye because it was bullied by his co angels. Then a week after it suddently fell off. But he's doing fine now, seems like nothing happen. Looking at your goldfish, he is happy. So nothing to worry about. :)
My goldfish toast used to live in the pond outside and he got his eye ripped out while some raccoons tried getting him. Hes doing so much better now and I hope shes doing well too.
There was a goldfish many years back at my high school in a huge tank built into the wall of a main hallway. There were many happy goldfish in there. In my freshmen year I noticed one of the goldfish didn't have any eyes. Everyone I asked about it kept saying it wasn't unusual. Well the goldfish seemed to stay perfectly healthy through the years. After I graduated high school it was still swimming around doing just fine.
May your goldfish also stay healthy and live a long time.
Thank you. She is still doing really well.
The black fish bit it off. Same thing happened to five of my fish. First time it happened, I thought the fish injured itself with the equipment or decorations. But after more fishes began to lose eyes and me catching the black one (just like the one in your tank) pestering an orange one like the kind you have in your aquarium, I installed a glass divider and separated the three black ones from the rest.
Thank you so much for this video.
Eye hope this never happens again.
stopfollowingme lmao weeaak
stopfollowingme ha!
Gmfu 💀🌚😂 but like smh
stopfollowingme LoL😂😂
* points to an exit *
My black tetra had this happened to him too
it'll be fine, don't worry about her having any problems swimming
I have a telescope eye'ed goldfish who is around 9 years old. I placed the siphon tube on the bottom floor and went to start the siphon. I came back in right away and he had swam into the tube and was stuck. I broke the siphon to let him out and one of his eyes fell back into the tank as well. I freaked out and have no idea how he even got into the tube. Since I was doing a water change, I set up a quarantine tank and dosed him with antibiotics per the instructions on the bottle. His eye hole healed nicely. He still has some issues eating with the other fish finding food quicker. I usually wait until his good eye is facing the feeding point and then drop it in. It has been almost a year and I'm happy to report that he is okay. He is a black moor named Merlin. The only odd thing that happened, after his eye was gone and healed, a few months later his belly and some parts of his fins turned white. I'm sorry this happened to you. I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel less responsible so I will just enforce to love them as much as you can.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. This is one of the most common accidents I hear of. I'm so paranoid when doing their tank, I never leave it while the siphon is in there. I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so hard when things happen to our fish. I'm glad yours is still doing so well.
IkonGod this just happened to my Betta today. I feel terrible as it was a mistake that could have been avoided if i used a smaller tube. Hopefully my Betta recovers and lives :*(
She will be okay one of my goldfish lost an eye about 2 months ago and has no problems eating or swimming
that's so freaky, glad she's ok though
Positively shocking! Gross to think the eye was somewhere in the tank... Eww. But I'm glad she's OK i guess it's like dogs and cats losing a leg... They adjust sometimes better than we humans! 💕
I just inherited a new fish tank with 5 goldfish. I added 6 more fish to the tank. Over the past couple of days I noticed one or the new goldfishes eyes were looking cloudy and this morning I noticed one of the eyes is missing :( I can't seem to get the temperature right in the tank either as I believe the heater may be broken? The temp keeps going from 70 to 80 and back down. Do you think that could be an issue? Maybe I'll change the water again but the tank hasn't been here even a week yet? Any ideas/suggestions? I appreciate it!
Same just happened to my calico Ranchu. And yep, it was a bully. Shouldn't have kept em together. 😭 But with or without eye, i love him no matter what. 🧡
What fish ate her eye? My calico oranda just lost an eye. I have 7 ranchus, 2 orandas, 2 black moors, 4 cory catfish, 1 clown pleco and a bristlenose pleco. I don't see any of them being the bully 😞
Never had this happen to any of my goldies. Even the ones I had years ago. Sure hope it never does but.. All my love to your sweetie 😊
PS: Your blue oranda... is STUNNING!!
Thank you. No this is something we've never had happen before. She's adjusted well though.
Lifewithpets oh yes I know :) I often watch ur videos! I'm so sorry it did happen tho, sweetheart. if I woke up and Loki or Flutter Butters lost an eye.. I'd be so flipping out. Immediately I would be googling treatments etc. You should go ahead n buy some fish antibiotics .. don't give them to her but just have them in your cabinet just in case 😃 Goldfish are so exciting tho, aren't they? Their little faces 😍 Just know it wasn't anything wrong you done, honey. Just crazy freak accident while you were sleeping. And again.. your blue oranda is STUNNING! love his colors! good luck sweetie and I'll be here watching n wishing you best 🐠❤
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. The blue Oranda is beautiful and rapidly changing color, it will be interesting to see if he becomes a lemon head.
So proud of the one eyed goldfish
I had a beautiful big telescope and I woke up one more morning terrified to see he had lost one of his eyes!!!! I never found it and I think maybe I didn't notice he was close to the siphon but I never let it go by itself so I wasn't sure, to this day I don't know what happened! Good luck with Gracie, she's a beautiful fish!
Yes, it's a frightening experience. We still have no idea what happened but she's doing really well and it doesn't hinder her at all.
Oh no. looks like she is getting around ok though, my black Moore I think he has a blind eye looks like it has a white pupil but he gets around fine and eats and he's a very Happy Fish he can still see out of one of his eyes,
This happened to my telescope. I really freaked out coz my telescope goldfish is already 7 months (handful size). The eyeball is huge! Like an oversized grapes. On the first day, my fish only sits on the bottom, on the 2nd day, he starts to eat. And now, he’s back to normal- a very glutton big goldfish. Lol
@@caoskin If his eye is that oversized it sounds like he might have pop eye. You should probably look into treating him for it asap if he does have an infection so he doesn't lose his eye.
Fluff,Fins, And Feathers it’s a telescope goldfish. There are known to have protruding eyes right? The day i bought him he already had this white circle inside his eyes. I didn’t mind coz the seller said it’s just normal. 3 days ago, my little nephews wake me up in the morning telling me that my telescope’s eyeball has fallen. At first i laughed coz its coming from a 4 years old. Anyways, my goldfish in now blind. And swim and eats like nothing happened
@@caoskin Oh ok, glad to hear he's still getting around well. :)
oh nooo poor girl. She still looks pretty❤
My Oscar bit off my iridescent sharks eye off , i put some general aid and put it in a seperate section in the tank. Could it regrow its eye back or is it bound to die now ?
She's the cutest. So sorry.
This just happened to my black Moor fish and he had been very sickly looking looks to have some sort of ich and I tried treating that for days but I see no signs of it getting better his eye is completely gone no sign of it anywhere but I am wondering if I should separate him
I have 4 lionheads... and my 4th one was a free adoption from a local pet chain... they had received a double order of all their fish, and tight on space, they combined the little lionheads with the larger telescope moors... the result after a week was that almost all the lionheads had lost either one eye, or both. When you look at your video slow motion eating the peas, you can see how goldfish with create quite a strong suction to make sure they are actually inhaling what they are aiming for... what I'm guessing happened in your tank was Gracie and another fish were probably aiming head on for the same goal, and her eye was inadvertently sucked out of the socket...
Luckily, goldfish have their lateral line in addition to other senses... although unsightly, even with both eyes missing, my (almost perfect) double blind lionheads finds food and swims perfectly... he seems to expend more energy searching, so he is slightly leaner than the others who find food more easily with all their senses in tact. This spring, they are all out to the pond, so his otherwise ideal genetics can be a new start:)
This is good to hear thank you. I have noticed Gracie does have to search more but as you saw in the video she can find her mark!
It's actually not uncommon for goldfish to eat the eyes of other goldfish. It's odd, unsure why they do that. If you had a Ryukin I would of blamed him as they tend to be buttheads. Edit - I wrote this before you mentioned you were told it was common lol.
M. Yates I was just about to say the same. I actually watched one of my Orandas suck on a comets eye trying to get the food from his mouth.
Fancy goldfish are all mouth, they're slow and can't swim fast enough to get the food (apart from my albino Ryukin who's swims like he has a rocket up his arse) so they follow the scent mouths wide open sucking at anything and everything in its path, usually that scent is in someone's mouth though and because eyes protrude it's the first thing that gets sucked.
+Lifewithpets check my comment above, that's what's most likely happend. I call fancies 'eyeball suckers' BC every fancy goldfish I've had has always sucked eyeballs trying to take food from others mouths.
I can't say I've every seen that happen but I'm sure it's possible. This happened over night so no food was involved. They all sleep together in the same corner, it's so cute!
Lifewithpets Have any plants been nibbled? mine do the even with no food involved too (if one is sucking on a pebble or chewing Elodea), maybe it's the sucking sound/vibration that sets them off.
Just a word of warning too, few weeks ago I lost a danio, same thing with missing eyeball, I know the culprits though (Golden wonder Killifish) was doing great for 3 weeks but had a slight spike in ammonia and nitrates over night, corrected it straight away but within 3 days the danio died. :(
Lifewithpets btw, love the new 75g design, Gunna look awesome filled and stocked.
This just happened to one of my goldfish today!!
Should name him Kubo now. Lol
wow.. sad. she's not playing around with the feeding time tho. lol.she getting her bites in. she looks like a fighter. she'll be fine.
Lol.....she lets nothing get between her and her food!
Exactly had a same issue today for my Ranchu Goldfish, I freaked out and very unusual my water parameter is always clean. I am not sure how this can happen to my fish will the eye grows back anyway? How can a fish lose an eye
Poor fish, I hope it doesn't happen again.
Plzz tell.. what to do if the fish looses both the eyes?? I am suffering from this pb
Our betta is missing an eye. He came that way, not sure what happened. Aside from having to take extra care to make sure he can find his food, he gets by just fine.
Oh no Eye am so sorry. Eye I hope she gets better. Eye will be praying😢
I'm keeping african clawed frogs with goldfish. I just got a new goldfish. The interesting was it had 1 normal and 1 telescopic eye. As soon as I put it in the tank, one of the frogs attacked it. And somehow managed to eat the big eye... I am freaking out since it never happened to me before! Now the poor fish has a big hole in the place of the eye! I don't know if I should put it in another tank, the other fish don't bother her, the frog didn't attack again, now the fish ia swimming slowly around, even touching the frog and everytging is peaceful... Any advice???
My goldfish lost both of his eyes and I'm worried. Do you take the fish with no eye/eyes out while doing the water change
No we treated her just like a normal fish.
That happened to one of my neon tetras about 6 months ago and she's been fine and normal since then
My fish has no both eyes and I think white scarp ate their eyes or what I am feeling sad right now. I have five fishes in the aquarium. One white scarp and four are golden fish. Scarp is huge compared to other four. What should I do now. I am feeling sad for my gold fish ! One fish got both eyes gone and other one has no one eye !
Did the eye grow back? My Black Moor got its eye bitten off, and it was really scary looking at him.
Sadly it won’t grow back.
Is it normal because my paradise gourami is missing an eye he swims a little crooked he acts fine eats and swims is this because his eye is gone
Awwww poor thing... I feel bad for you and her! She will be fine... her other eye will get used to it😅
Thanks:)
Neon Tetra Aquarist hi I'm subbed to ur channel
Killer Kenny Thanks Kenny!
You think my fish lost an eye because of his friends or infection??
YEAH NO BIG DEAL. SHE JUST LOST AN EYE!! WOW. She needs to be treated. Seriously people???
Hi there, thanks for the Video, how is your fish at this time? I think that it's was your filter that did the damage because in my Tank I had a water heater that did damage to one of my silver dollars tetras. Had to get medicine to take care of him and replace the heater to a protective type of heater. He recovering now and the wound is healing nicely.
Thank you. She is doing great, she's adjusted really well.
Do goldfish really regenerates it retina after losing its eye/s? I just google it and found out this
"Unlike what is possible with the human eye, fish are able to regenerate injuries to the retina at the cellular level. ... They focus on the retina of fish, since -- unlike humans -- fish are able to completely regenerate all retinal nerve cells upon injury."
Is this true anyone?
One of my three fantail gold fish 😢sadly has an inflamed and cloudy eye and I don’t know what to do…. PLEASE HELP 😫😫😫
I had a goldfish lost her both eyes and she is dead....I don't no it happened over night
glad to hear she's okay! I had a goldfish in the past that only had one eye. I purchased him that way, so I don't know what happened, but the side of his face was completely flat and healed so it almost looked like there was never an eye there in the first place, he could have just been born like that. great video!
Thanks. Aww....that was so good of you to pick one who needed to be given a chance.
I think Gracie must be the cutest goldfish ever ❤️
Aww.....thank you!
Hi I have recently bought a goldfish which seemed completely fine and healthy to me. I think its a female. I have fed her regularly. She played all day. Everything was going well. It has been only 4 days but this evening she lost both of her eyes. It's like the eyes are completely vanished. I can't figure out what actually happend. Can anyone please help?
Ya my fish lost an eye now i looked in the tank and now the poor thing has no eyes left its been ok still feeding but i just feel so bad for it it swims around ok to so guess it will be ok 😢😢
This just happened with my goldfish. He suddenly got popeye and I just witnessed my other goldfish eat his eye off before I could get him out of the tank. I am heartbroken and hope he makes it through this
Hello - how is it your water so clean. Can you give me some tip
i am schocked!😱
one of my fish have same problem she does not have one eye . Don't know how it happened I want to help her and don't wanna let her die. Please help me
Thank you so much because I was at my grandparents house and one of the fish lost an eye and I got so scared
Nice Fsh ❤️
I have a goldfish with one eye to, he got Popeye and we treated him and he's doing fine.(btw he's name is Ruren)
How did you treat it?
I’ve just got home and my goldfish eye is just black I don’t know what had happened?
My goldfish has a white spot on his eye. Does anyone know whats wrong with him
Same problem, I lost my two goldfish 😔😔
I recently got some fan tails and when I got my two I look and watched the fish and realised one of them had lost their eye, I don’t know if it’s more common in types that are black and orange but my one is too. Most likely a coincidence that they are the same colour.
if your fantail is classified as Ryukin then better to separate it because they are known as eye eater
My solid orange Oranda has one eye. I saw her at the pet store and bought her that way. It has been a year now and she is good.
Uhm.. I need help, my goldfish lost both of its eyes.. Idk what to do
cute fish
Today one of my comets pecked off the eye of a smaller oranda. Make sure you keep fish that are of similar sizes.
Sorry to hear that. This has never happened to my goldfish. Atleast its doing okay with the one eye. Btw is there an easy way to tell a goldfish's gender?
Thank you. I'd look up solid gold aquatics, she has a video on how to sex goldfish.
I've got a goldfish with the same problem and she's still OK for now
I.lost my 4 gold.fish....what should we do to stop.this???
i had that happen to my swordtail i didn't know how so what i did i just put him in a separated cycled tank and gave him some medicine and tried to put him with his friends when he was healed again but they where fighting with him so i had to keep him alone he was more happy alone with the snails and gws Gracey
Does this happen with any fish cause my glow fish eye is gone
i got my black moor and he has no eyes- it's very clean and smooth so my best guess he was born without them? he has no fleshy bits in the sockets and swims like a champ but i don't have a good tank for a goldfish (he was an impulse buy but i don't regret it now, he had to live with my betta + guppys but they weren't aggressive towards him if anything he kept them up at night ) but i moved him into a big tub with a few things to make him at least feel a bit more safer despite being blind- i named him Dallek (reference) but me and my mom call him dolly. so far no issues besides being a bit skinny. betta was eating his food (need to make sure thats not gonna be a issue for the betta) but so far its been smooth sailing. sorry if i seem like a bad fish owner who impulsively got a fish i was not ready to get. i am young and i have a weak heart for animals that are different from the norm i bout started crying when i saw him and black moors are my dream fish so yea thank you for reading and have a good day! (my dad says he might not grow because of the eye thing but i disagree so if this has happened before can someone please help?)
Awe bless her poor fishy I feel sorry for her 😔😔😔😔 your the best fish mamma she's cute fish
I just uploaded s video of my fish called faceless fish still going strong. It's sad but I don't know what to do😔
I have a situation, my gold fish lost her both eys , what to do ?
Our fancy goldfish of 5 years lost both eyes. Lives fine without them. We don’t know how it lost it’s eyes. We suspected the common plecostomus. Since removed. Our water quality is bad at times. I change every 7 or 9 days. It has happened again to another fancy goldfish and it may be one of our koi. One of our koi is a bully I’ve noticed.
@@lisabonilla1701 my fish eye lost fish got died two days before and now I about to clean our filter
It is very terrible to hear all this. Eyes can be lost like this! Imagine you have to live everyday without a eye or both eyes! Get the culprit out and sentences it to " live alone" or dig out an eye for an eye lost
My sunburst mollies keep losing an eye. Like I don’t even know how or why. (5 of them thus far lost one eye)
Some fishes get addicted to eating other fishes eyes.
Finding the culprit is hard since they don't act aggressive
What will I do my gold fish missing her 2 eyes. Pls
I just discovered that our catfish lost an eye. She shares a tank with a Betta, but we're not sure if he did it. Otherwise, she seems fine. She's eating and pooping. LOL! But she does tend to swim in circles now. Hopefully, she'll make a recovery so I can put her back in her home tank soon. But I'm still kinda hesitant to put her with the Betta, yet.
my calico actually had both his eyes eating but is still living!
Can't they regrow their eyes?
How to cure it one of my telescope eyes exploded for no reason
is it normal for them to lose two eyes? my fish lost his 2 eyes yesterday and I freaked out. it seems like he rejected them cause he seems happy now but he is gonna have to learn to find food.
No it's not normal for them to lose their eyes but they can usually adapt well.
Lifewithpets okay thank you. Its kind of like he just rejected his eyes and now he is really happy without them. I freaked when he lost the first one and then i checked on hin at midnight last night and he had no eyes my heart did a flip and i freaked out more. But he seems happy :)
Do you have other tank mates in the tank with him?
Not anymore i put him into a seperate tank. All the fish that he was in the tank with are roughly all the same size as well.
This happened to my telescope. I really freaked out coz my telescope goldfish is already 7 months (handful size). The eyeball is huge! Like an oversized grapes. On the first day, my fish only sits on the bottom, on the 2nd day, he starts to eat. And now, he’s back to normal- a very glutton big goldfish. Lol
i’m here bc i had a dream that my 2 of my goldfish (that literally died like 3 years ago) lost their eyes and i wanted to see if it’s acc a thing that happens
Oh no . Poor fish :( How is she now ??
My goldfish lost both her eyes. She's doin fine. I dont know until when.
My catfish ate my green terror's eye he acts normal and swims around like normal. He is still a aggressive eater and is always the first one to the food
im very sad for Goldfish i have a also goldfish and no eyes bothside im so warry i have no idea what should i do ? she cant eat also i cant kill and still a alive...😭😭😭😭
They usually adapt and can smell the food. Just keep feeding her and she will figure it out. I've seen many with no eyes and they all do well.
Poor little girl. She is still so cute tho
It happened to me too it's same as what happened to you!!
Where is the eye did the other goldfish eat it?
I have a gold fish both of its eyes were removed and its still swimming unfortunately my daughter was crying I had to flash the fish away because of its looks
I do not have the true answer, but it is likely that the bigger goldfish have went after the smaller goldfish to chew out their eyes. A couple years ago. I bought a big fancy goldfish at Pet Smart. I put him with a few small goldfish, and it eat all of its eyes out. I FaceTime my brother earlier to look after my fish while I was babysitting my nephews. One of my goldfish lost one of its eye. The biggest goldfish in my tank are the 2 black moor goldfish. It is likely they went after the smaller goldfish.
My fish has no eyes ;( im so scared since it cant see where the food is.
Mine has just lost both its eyes
How to live on like this? So scary... Blind man at least got stick to guide the way...
