A look at my 75 gallon goldfish tank.

[@carpy1252]

I can't get over how beautiful and sweet comets are, and people treat them like crap.

[@THolzAquariums]

Yes they are and yes they do. Thanks for watching!!

[@OttosAquatics]

Fantastic aquarium, and beautiful comets, just subscribed!

[@THolzAquariums]

Thank you wish I still had that set up It was one of my favorites

[@AFR2024]

Now this is a certified goldfish classic. Though the goldfish are not all comets. The red and white one is a common goldfish, the black and white one is an American Shubunkin! Absolutely lovely set up

[@THolzAquariums]

Thank you ! I was proud of that tank while it lasted Unfortunately they got some kind of illness and died. Don’t know what it was Thanks for watching and commenting

Great video! Really enjoyed watching. Lovely tank and fish 👍

Thank you!

[@grumpyalison4869]

how long did it take them to get to that size? they're glorious and it's nice to see someone keeping 'normal' goldfish and not the weirdly bred ones

[@THolzAquariums]

It didn’t take long to get big Three years maybe. Unfortunately they all got sick and I couldn’t figure out how to save them. That was a sad time for me Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey T... nice tank. These guys make the tank look small!! I love the dojos!! Be happy and safe!!

[@THolzAquariums]

Thanks! The tank is small for them. I have to do extra water changes or else they aren’t happy.

[@aquaferme1346]

Love that Hibuna goldfish! I prefer those to the comets because they have a fuller beefy body.

[@THolzAquariums]

Thank you. And I didn’t know It was called a Hibuna. He is beefy for sure !

[@zezekingyo2374]

@@THolzAquariums Hi there, lovely goldfish! Hibunas (aka the common goldfish) are a really old ancient breed, cuz what's interesting is everyone of the breeds today(about over 200) comes form the hibunas!

I am worried that my 65 tank is not big enough for my comet goldfish. He is about four Inches long. I also have a few snails.

[@THolzAquariums]

If you only have one you should be fine. My tank wasn’t big enough because I had four and they were twice that size

[@SandyNickk]

Beautiful setup. I’m in the process of doing a 75 myself that will eventually house a pair of Shubunkin and a Sarasa, and was planning on something very similar. This video certainly confirms it! Would you recommend water sprites over duckweed?

[@THolzAquariums]

Unfortunately these fish got some kind of an illness that I wasn't able to cure. I no longer have them. Duckweed will be quickly eaten by goldfish. Water sprite would be better. The goldfish won't eat it.

[@themarcos3336]

Any recommendations to grow goldfish

[@THolzAquariums]

Clean water and good food will grow goldfish and any other fish also. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@themarcos3336]

😂 good Anwer. Just curious on the food I feed them once and twice a day sometimes but water is always clear btw I feed them tetraplus

[@THolzAquariums]

@@themarcos3336 I feed them Tetra pond and a couple different koi foods that I buy from Amazon. I don't know the brand. My water is always clear too but because they are too big for the tank I get ammonia build up so I have to do a few water chan get each week

[@GreenEyedJade]

Do you still run the SunSun 304B canister (currently)? How long have you had it and do you run any additional filters? I have two goldfish in a 75 gallon tank. I have one fully grown comet goldfish that I rescued almost two years ago. When I got him into a tank that had good quality water, he started to turn black. I didn’t know anything about fish at the time and thought I was doing something wrong. Turns out I was actually doing everything right, and the reason for his scales turning black is because they were starting to heal from the severe ammonia burns he had from the tank he was previously in. It’s insane the amount that all of his fins and especially his tail have grown. When I got him he barely even had a tail fin, now it’s almost as long as his body! 1 year later and I went and bought a medium sized Shubunkin from my local fish store, he has gotten bigger since I got him, so my guess is that he will continue to grow more until he’s the size of my Comet. I just always worry so much that they don’t have enough space or my filter is inadequate. Maybe I should add some live plants but anytime I’ve tried to do that it seems like they just die in the tank or get eaten. I run the same canister filter (304B) and I also have two decent sized sponge filters in each corner of the tank, then I have a medium sized “dual sponge filter” that I just keep in the tank because it’s always been there and has some bio media in it as well. How often do you clean out your canister filter? I’m thinking about upgrading and getting a bigger canister filter but they are just so expensive. My water parameters are not bad ever but it’s because I do a lot of water changes. My water bill is crazy some months.

[@THolzAquariums]

Unfortunately these fish died not too long after I made the video. They got a sickness that I was not able to cure. I was doing two water changes a week to keep the water clean maybe that was the problem. I do still use the Sun Sun. I have had it running for many years. It does make a little noise but not too loud. As far as I can tell it works just as well as the more expensive name brands for a much better price. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@GreenEyedJade]

@@THolzAquariums aw I’m sorry! My two goldfish have been sick too many times for me to count but somehow I’ve always saved them. What filter media do you use in your SunSun if you don’t mind me asking? Your water looks much more clear than mine does. I have a 303B (which is like 370 gph) on a 75 gallon though…. I really like it but I feel like I need to get a bigger one or find a way to keep some plants alive in my tank.

[@THolzAquariums]

@@GreenEyedJade Right now I have the same tank with just some floating water sprite and about thirty gold white clouds and a similar number of blue wag platy fry that were born in that tank over the summer.. I only have one adult male left from the three of each I had. I think I should have separated them after they had some of the fry to allow them to rest and then put them back together . I use the media that came with the filter which is bio balls and nodules. I added some scrubbies in one of the baskets and I use the extra loft batting from Walmart . I see plenty of people keep goldfish in a 75 on you tube. Don't know why I couldn't

[@zezekingyo2374]

I see the black and white comet is a Shubunkin. Even that "sarasa" is also a shubunkin. Shubunkins have nacreous (in-between metallic and non metallic) or matted scales(translucent scales). Your shubunkins have scales which are somewhat nacreous

[@THolzAquariums]

Thanks for the information! I don’t know much about the different breeds The tank was just labeled sarasa comet at the store. Thanks again for watching and commenting

[@zezekingyo2374]

@@THolzAquariums No problem. I'm here to give good info:). I forgot another thing, most shubunkins are mainly calico in color, so they can be black white and red with some blueish coloration at the top half of its body.

[@THolzAquariums]

金魚ZeZeKingyo I had one that looked similar to that That’s the one I mentioned in the video that jumped out before I put the lid on.

hola que medida tiene el acuario ?

[@ScubaSteve4444]

I had no idea they required high quality water. Makes sense though. Are they primary for pond? What are the differences in goldfish species? You have comets? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Maybe a vid on carr and type?

[@THolzAquariums]

Thanks Steve! Yes while they adapt to different water well they are somewhat sensitive when the water quality goes bad. And yes they should be in a 1000 gallon pond to reach their full potential. I have three Sarasa Comets the ones with the nice tails and one plain comet.

[@zezekingyo2374]

Ohh just to note there, these goldfish are breeds, like dogs they aren't species :)

[@justinmccain1896]

Even though they don't have porcelain to jump ship. Hi there now you have learn that any fish would jump out of something. If not covered. I have a school of silver Hatchet fish. When My mother got close to the aquarium of the fish scary her. Lep out of the tank. So I got the fish back in just in time ⌚ so now I have a led over the tank so I avoid this problem. I am obsessed of goldfish especially odandas I a family of Oandas named after the Disney family. Like Roy E. The passion for goldfish started with Tom Tom My friend's goldfish when I was in Preschool. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
