The most intriguing feature of the Bubble Eye Goldfish
The most intriguing feature of the Bubble Eye
Goldfish are its bubbles. The bubbles on the Water-Bubble Eye Goldfish
begin to develop at an age of 6-9 months. By the time they are 2 years
old, the bubbles are very large. These water-filled bubbles get so big in fact, that the fish has trouble seeing and can even have a hard time swimming because of them.
Although these are very intriguing looking fancy goldfish, their bubble sacs are easily broken. The sacs are notorious for getting caught in the water uptake valves of aquarium filters. It helps to have a foam cover over the valve to help prevent this. Most the time broken bubbles will grow back, but sometimes they may not grow back at all. And when they do grow back, they are a different shape and size and won't match their other bubble. Broken bubbles heal slowly and are subject to infection!

Amazing Purple Carrots
When someone says the word “carrot,” don’t you
just naturally picture the long orange veggie with the green top?
Carrots and the color orange are practically synonymous, but it wasn’t
always this
way. Carrots used to be purple, and sometimes even white. How did the change happen? The orange carrot you know and love came to be in the 1500’s. But before that, in Asia and the eastern
Mediterranean areas, they used to be purple! Nature created a new yellow vegetable by hybridizing the original purple kind with different wild varieties. This new version was then brought to the west, where the yellow mutants and other wild forms crossed to eventually produce the orange carrots we enjoy today.
Also purple carrots contained up to five times more phenolics and falcarinol than orange carrots and both compounds are being investigated for their potential to protect against cardiovascular disease, inhibit the development of cancer cells in the body and reverse the negative effects of high-fat diets.

Smallest Cat Mr Peebles
Smallest Cat Mr Peebles may look like a kitten, but he is actually 2-year-old. The tiny cat got its size
from a genetic defect that stunts growth. At just 6.1-inch (15.5 cm)
high and 19.2-inch (49 cm) long, he currently holds certification
from The Guinness Book of World
Records as the world’s smallest cat.
