My Funny Picture - My fish......help!.....?

My fish......help!.....?

Ok. So. I have this fish that I bought from the petstore yesterday. And his cheeks were weird- they are like puffed out, filled with air. And this morning they are still like that. Here's a picture of him- http://www.flickr.com/photos/36187766@N04/3341854436/ Is this normal? Anyway I can get it to deflate or something? Thanks!

hes breathing thats usually what all live things do WP
ok what you want to do is get a needle and pop both of those ballon like figures..
This is a terrible picture but it looks like a bubble eyed goldfish. didn't you ask what it was? Check this site for types of goldfish: http://www.networkcpr.com/goldfish/Types_of_goldfish.html DO NOT DEFLATE THEM!
Theres actually a breed of gold fish like that so you shouldnt worry.
it is a bubbled eyed fish i no i have one he is fine
It is a bubble-eye goldfish. It is a breed and the bubbles are completely normal- they will not harm the fish in the least. It appears your fish is in a bowl- this will cause complications and death- you definitely need to get a filtered aquarium.
thats a kind of goldfish. thats what they are suposed to look like! if you thought the fish was sick why did you get it? but its not sick. and do not pop the bubbles. its like popping someones eye ball.
it is a bubble eye goldfish. they are supposed to be like that. it's kinda like a breed of goldfish that has that plus the two tails. he looks fine but i would but him in a tank with filtration and gravel oh and some plants. just because he is small now doesn't mean he will stay that small. they can get to 6 inches or larger.
it just a bubble fish there nothing wrong with it
OMG that looks so scary im not a fish expert but what do you keep him/her in?If it is a vase(that is what it looks like to me) I would take him/her out.
Its a bubble eyed goldfish it need a 20+ gallon tank not a bowl
