Oh man, that is really bad. Poor fishy. I have never had goldfish, so I really cant tell ya what to do on that one. You might try to post in the coldwater forum to see if anyone knows what to do about that. There are probably more goldfish people in there. Good luck with the guy though. I'm glad you figured out how to post pics b/c they can be very helpful to people who are trying to help you. Sorry I couldnt be of more help. :huh:

Its ok....thank you for the info about posting pictures.....and I will post in another forum or invite someone to come read my thread.
OK, I Googled it and this is what I found:
"While bubble eyes are as inexpensive and easy to find as other fancy varieties, they are not recommended for beginning fish keepers because their delicate eyesacs can easily be damaged by rough or sharp surfaces, or by the filter intakes. A bubble eye should never be kept in a tank with anything abrasive, such as most rocks. Should the eyesac become punctured, it is important to keep the water especially clean, or use a topical product like Melafix to stop the puncture from becoming infected. A punctured sac will eventually heal and grow back although it is almost always scarred or misshapen after healing."
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the search, Jodi! I haven't had time to do much posting today.
I'm going to see what I can come up with to back up what Jodi has.
