[@erinridout3554]

Hey Luke...I wanted to say thank you from my heart for all of your efforts and creatively informative videos. I've never "joined a channel" before yours. I have lost 3 goldfish to what I am not positive is ich. I have a 40 gallon live planted aquarium that uses two sponge filters and one fluval biomedia over the back filter. I have added the 1tbs/5gal api salt about five days ago. On Wed I even gave each of them their first salt baths 1tbsp/1gal. I have 1 Ranchu, 3 Apache Thai, 1 black Moore, and 2 more common orandas. All of which are young and less than 3 inches in size as I've only just begun keeping them about a month ago. I have another planted 40gal aquarium with the same filtration setup. I usually do 4/4 fish per tank but I've moved everyone to the long tank and cranked the heat up in the tall tank trying to eradicate this parasite from it so that I can repeat this method after I switch them. Can you please give me feedback? Do you have any money saving/ life saving knowledge that you would share with me please? I'm emotionally attached to my fish and I would really like to see them survive.

[@zaibkadri3630]

Can you make a video on how to properly quarantine a new fish

[@bartishk]

Yep that on

[@Frank21qe]

Came to this your one of my favorite fishtubers and your my main inspiration for keeping goldfish and I'm getting a couple more goldfish for my tank

[@jan_woodland]

Luke, love your videos. I love goldies too. I keep mine outside in a claw foot bathtub pond. They stay out all year. I live in northern CA, so we don't get snow or anything, but it does get pretty cold. They do just fine in cold water. They don't eat as much, but mine like to eat every day even in winter. The only thing is they won't really grow bigger during the cold season. In spring they try to spawn like crazy, lol. Summers are long here, and my pond is on my patio, and I really enjoy hanging out with them.

[@GoldfishCorner]

Hi Luke, nice video on goldfish keeping intro. Glad to you mention the heater trick. Yes, for most goldfish breeds, you don’t need heaters except for Thai goldfish (Thai Oranda, Thai Ranchu). Goldfish bred in Thailand are almost like a tropical fish

[@nayanmistry4641]

New subscriber here Luke! I've owned tropical fish for over 3years now. I have a 200L (53gallon, I think) tank, with a 306 canister filter. I am thinking of venturing onto the fancy goldfish keeping hobby and the oranda is very tempting. Just binge watching your videos at the moment 👍

[@joeyrodriguez2706]

[@orangescalefishy1258]

Keep in mind single tailed goldfish aren’t good in 20-30 gallon tanks. A big tank would be good since they can grow huge, but they grow better and live happier in a 250 gallon pond

[@DCSY93]

I recently subscribed to your channel coz I love goldfish and I like how informative you are! 👏🏻 I watched your past videos and saw that you've tackled a lot of topics but if I were to suggest a new video it would be great if you would talk more in-depth about filtration for fancy goldfish, such as all the types of filters available in the market and each of their functions (the mechanics/how they work, effectivity/pros and cons, maintenance & cleaning, and estimated costs for each one, etc.). This would be so helpful! 😊

[@lukesgoldies]

Might do that!

[@vladderpfahler6547]

[@NhanNguyen-eu3my]

Your instrution is very detail. I appreciate that. Do you use Microbe-Lift Montmorillonite Clay for your goldfish, Luke ? I have a 75 gallon tank with fluval fx6, It’s been a month already and the tank is cycled. Do you think this set up will be ok for keeping Oranda? Thank you Luke ❤️

[@thclemm]

Thanks my goldfish I just got are happy

[@pattonspetsofficial9779]

I’m my situation I will not need a heater because my room stays at a stable temperature of 75-79 degrees and the coldest my town has ever gotten is probably 40 degrees outside but my house has always been nice and warm but not too warm because my dad hates the hot

[@thisnamesucks239]

Thank you for this imma get one soon once I get all the supplies P.s how’s big bubba doing

[@Alice-ue6kj]

Man, I'm watching this and thinking about my poor 4 oversized koi goldfish living in their tiny foot washing tub that's not very deep or has a big diameter with no filter, we just suck out their poop with a mini turkey baster, I didn't even know about nitrifying bacteria's existence, and we just keep feeding them flakes because they don't like the pellets we gave them. Your fish look so happy, and I don't know if my fish are genuinely suffering or doing ok.

[@dany_playz1104]

I just got two Orandas today

[@Kuntara466]

Is there any specific reason that you commended sponge filters over other filtration system?

[@lukesgoldies]

I like how cheap the air pump plus sponge filter combo is and that they are easy to clean and don’t need filter paddings like a HOB.

Do you fill your tank right out of the sink. I have always been told about the water has to be the same temperature? I don't know but I have been storing buckets of water to make sure the temperature is the same. Do you think I could just pump out of my sink. Have well water no chlorine

I actually keep tropical tanks but someone shared your Instagram with me! Would absolutely love to keep goldfish but I know I don’t have the space or the money to do it to the standard that I’d like so will have to wait for now!

Can we use algae eating fish or some kind of filter fish instead of the cleaning products you mentioned?

Algae eating fish aren’t great because once the eat the algae you have to add algae wafers to feed them and no filter can remove the chlorine and other stuff from city water water conditioner is needed

30 gal minimum with double filtration can support 2 goldfish and you need to do regular water changes. A 20 gal is too small, they get large and it’s not fair for them to spend their whole life in anything less. I work at a pet store and we literally won’t sell them if they’re going in anything smaller than a 30. If you can’t afford the space then don’t get the animal, they’re not decorations.
