Kriber Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Anyone know why sometimes the 'whites' of fishes eyes are black? I noticed it in a guppy once but couldn't remember if it changed back to white or if that was another individual. Just before I noticed both of my swordtail fry have 'white' eyes whereas earlier one of them had 'black' eyes. Maybe they've been giving each other the bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 If they are stressed there eyes tend to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter McLeod Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Sometimes my halfblack yellow guppies do this too and dissapear within a day or so. If you go by the American guppy association they shouldn't be used for breeders if their eyes truely are black. Maybe their eyes are too big for their stomochs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter McLeod Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I think if you are happy it dosn't really matter.As far as I know there isn't anything genetic wise that will do harm just that some people don't like the look of the eyes being fully black.
