BUBBLE EYE GOLDFISH...

The Bubble Eye is a small variety of fancy goldfish with upward pointing eyes that are accompanied by two large fluid-filled sacs. It is a dorsal-less fish, and good specimens will have a clean back and eye bubbles well matched for colour and size. The bubbles are fragile and the fish should be kept separately from boisterous types and away from sharp tank decor, although the bubbles will regrow if punctured. Given proper accommodation, the bubbles do not disadvantage the fish and they become very tame. It is known as suihogan in Japan.

THE PINEBERRY... PINEAPPLE STRAWBERRY...!!!

The Pineberry is a strawberry cultivar publicized in Eastern Germany in April, 2009, as Ananaserdbeere, or pineapple strawberry. It is a hybrid of Fragaria chiloensis, originating in South America, and Fragaria virginiana, originating in North America, the same parentage as the garden strawberry Fragaria × ananassa. .The fruit flesh can range from soft white to orange and is very fragrant with a slight pineapple flavor.

Pineberries were nearly extinct until 2003, when a group of Dutch farmers banded together to save the plant. When ripe, it is almost completely white, but with red "seeds" (achenes).

CUBIC WATERMELON from Japan !!!

In Japan, farmers of the Zentsuji region found a way to grow cubic watermelons, by growing the fruits in glass boxes and letting them naturally assume the shape of the receptacle.

The cubic shape was originally designed to make the melons easier to stack and store, but the cubic watermelons are often more than double the price of normal ones, and much of their appeal to consumers is in their novelty.
