The ''Carassius auratus'' shares its scientific name with all types of [[Goldfish]]. The Popeyed Goldfish, or ''Black Moor Goldfish'', is a harmless fish that lives in slow-flowing ponds, ditches, rivers, and lakes. It is a specially bred type of carp with large, protruding eyes, which, to some people's surprise, has poor eyesight as a result of its heavy inbreeding. It is related to other types of ''telescope fish'', [[Carp]] and is indirectly related to the [[Koi]]. It feeds off of small insects, crustaceans, and plants. In China, it is called the ''dragon-eye''. They are good for people who are just starting their freshwater tank.

Donating to the museum

In Animal Crossing

When a popeyed goldfish is donated, Blathers will say this:

"Those adorable little fins! Those huge, googly eyes! Even I am helpless in the face of their cuteness! We will take special care of this precious fellow. Welcome to your new home, you darling little fishy!"

In Wild World

When a popeyed goldfish is donated, Blathers will say this:

"You should know, the eyes on the popeyed goldfish can occasionally pop out! There's nothing wrong, of course, and if you let the fish be, they go back in. Even so, the first time I witnessed it, MY eyes nearly popped out, wot wot!"

In City Folk

"Popeyed goldfish look like any other ordinary goldfish whilst still juveniles. As they begin to mature, their eyes bulge outward and gradually assume that distinctive appearance. Imagine how appalled you'd be if you brought one home thinking it was a normal goldfish..."

In New Leaf

An information board in the aquarium will display this description of the pop-eyed goldfish upon donation:

"They're known for their protruding eyes, as the name indicates, but this feature is actually a detriment. Their vision is quite poor, to the point that they will swim past food and frequently bump into things. They are a type of goldfish and get their distinguishing eye pop about two months after birth."

In New Horizons

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"Pop-eyed goldfish have, as the name suggests, huge round eyes. But as babies they look like other goldfish! As they grow, their eyes begin to pop out and they gain their, hoo, distinct appearance... Imagine the poor fish fancier who unknowingly bought one! Their eyes might well pop out just as far!"

Once donated to the museum the pop-eyed goldfish can be found in the first exhibit room in the small tank with the ranchu goldfish and guppy.

Fishing Tourney

During a Fishing Tourney, when given a pop-eyed goldfish, Chip will say the following dialogue.

In City Folk

"I just think that popeyed goldfish would sound better as goldeyed popfish. Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

In New Leaf

"You know what's tough? Scooping up pop-eyed goldfish! It's almost impossible if you're not a wizard! Erm... Uh. Hey, look over there! I think I saw one of those wizards! OH, YUM YUM!"
