Here are the ones I use for my fish mounts. I get them from McKenzie taxidermy supply. They are wayne coopers flex eyes. They have different types of eyes as well if you look around on the site. Let me know if you need anymore help.

They come in millimeters sizes. You can use callipers to measure your eyesockets. I have been doing fish for so long I can just look at a fish and know what size eyes to order.
