bolding eyes LMB

[TJB101084]

Update on my fish.....

The 3 are doing great. They are eating, playing, fighting, and roaming in the tank. Its great.

One of them has bolding eyes and I dont know what to make of it. Is this just the way he is or is it a sign of something?

Also the 3 have shown some aggression by chasing each other. I have taken this as play but you would know better them myself.

Whats a bolding eye?

Sorry I meant bulging eyes

stunted fish usually have very large eyes in proportion to the rest of their bodies.

there are also worm-type parasites (i don't remember the name of them) that make home in the eyes of sunfish and make their eyes bulge A LOT. i have caught a bluegill like this, and also seen other cases of it online.
