Goldfish Surgery-A Battle for Survival

an inspiring tale of a compassionate Goldfish afficionado.

[@DrewDPoole]

That was... *tear slowly inches down cheek* Beautiful.

[@HukkelberryPies]

Props to you for doing that to him instead of just letting him die. There needs to be more people like you.

[@emilyheartman6201]

My goldfish just died today, he was a very big fish. I had him for 8 yrs and now he left to a better place. Hopefully he rests in peace.😞

[@MCTurtleLP]

Sorry rip

[@OriginalFairyQueen]

Cheeto is so big and cute! I hope he's feeling better soon: I know that he is in good hands.

[@AscendingBliss]

Hun, this video was posted over eight years ago. Cheeto is probably a little dead...

[@sevensupercoolkidz3928]

You are a good owner God be with you

[@errolbreheny2480]

that was very kind of you to help the pour fish all animals with a siknes or injare needs help no mater whot the crecher is

[@PpVaLLeTTa]

that is the biggest act of love towards a pet have ever seen and we'are talking about a goldfish wow man your great... indeed the world needs more ppl like you

[@letsflyfpv538]

This show how far a man would go and how much he cares for his goldfish I hope the goldfish is doing fine know

[@thomaswallace1110]

This is amazing and it shows how one "little" pets life can be very meaningful

[@CloroxBleach-xw6vb]

never seen someone who takes such good care for a fish normal people would have flushed him through the toilet after the poor fish lived in a bowl for all his live

[@giselbenavides7612]

Clorox Bleach agreed

[@missmolasses5111]

A gripping,remarkable story for the ages!

[@Sade5205]

I know this was 8 years ago but I had to tell you how wonderful you are. I know a lot of people look at fish as useless and dumb I for one know that they can be insanely smart. I have cichlids and If they got sick id do anything i can for them same goes for my daughters mollies and frogs. to me they became apart of our family as much as the cat has and they will be missed when they pass away.

[@Lavenderblood111]

You are kindhearted sir

[@littlesuperpony3438]

Thank you for saving this beautiful fishes life.

[@shark_bug]

I find it rather idiotic that people keep saying "it's just a goldfish oh my god it isn't alive its too small and helpless to actually have a life" like goldfish aren't living creatures just like us humans. Just because they live underwater and are smaller than us and look different doesn't mean they are any less Alive than you. You can't just say something isn't a living being with feelings just because you don't understand them. That's like giant aliens saying you aren't alive and should be left to die. What if you didn't get medical attention while extremely sick because you're 'just a human'. It doesn't matter if you die because we'll just throw you out and get a new human. It wouldn't feel very good now, would it?

[@YurikoHD]

+James Gill I've protected a bug before,even tough all people do are stare at you in the act,it's still living so why not?

[@zannasutherland144]

I absolutely agree with you Mikasa, thank you for your point! ☺

[@AshleighLeighanne]

I've always wanted to take care of animals! Some people are as COLD HEARTED to leave an animal left to die. Just people they aren't people doesn't mean they arent important! Some of them lives for millions of years!!! I wanted to be a scientist when I grow up.

[@AshleighLeighanne]

and trained ones can save a life!

[@AshleighLeighanne]

(trained dogs)

[@Lavenderblood111]

You are an amazing person for saving this poor fish

[@saladmayo8852]

Stop hating on goldfish they have lives too. You know this gold fish could be 20 years old max! Thats almost older that all dogs! You all just take advantages of dogs because they are fun and can walk on land. but you just need to see what God as put INFRONT of you and this is a miracle hes alive!

[@meanjune]

[@meanjune]

+melissa powell What do you have to say for yourself. You've eaten meat and fish, they were all treated like shit and slaughtered so. LOL

[@OlympicSkittles]

You are an amazing person. Not many people would do that for a fish, but you did, and you saved his life.

[@brenner5147]

God Bless you man.

I'm glad cheeto didn't die

[@osuks33]

this guy is nice he is better than the other people keeping fish in small places and saying its just a decoration but they need to take care for the fish they are PETS

[@Luckyjaye777]

Your a great fish owner cause I would of never knew my fish had a tumor 👍

[@Normandy-e8i]

When you said "There is no more that he can do" It made me so sad but when you said "He certanly hasn't lost his apitiite" that made me feel so warm inside.

[@Artski]

those kind of goldfish reminds me of ponyo for some reason lol

[@TheStrokesChick]

I certainly wasn't expecting to view surgery of a fancy gold fish tonight, but..here I am, in awe. I loved the happy ending. That was my favorite part. I think I'll watch again. yes.

[@neonpurplefrost1764]

Aww that's a tough little goldfish

[@catwomanluvsjoker]

Dude, it isn't every day that i see something that makes me want to cry, or that i see someone who loves animals as much as i do....... just...... wow.... i am so awestruck.....

[@knotsahoy3291]

oh the things people do for love

[@aqrifyln6719]

"Gold will be their scales. Gold will be their medical bill."

[@xXKuroXx100]

My whole thoughts during this video was... It's just a goldfish. But I do realize that I would of done the same for my pet if it was in danger of dying. I smile when I see pet owners doing this for their own pet. It's love and friendship that you have connected with your pet you treat it as your own as if it was a real human baby. It's amazing.

[@user-ht9yz3yg3r]

I see what you did at the end with "fin". I seen it

[@spawnofmunky]

This shows so much compassion for all creatures big and small : )

[@sk8rBoy97]

i hope so as well... he's amazing... and his story will hopefully inspire others to safely and legally anesthetize their fish and give them the ethical surgery they need.

[@onedottersrock9977]

I got a fishbowl for Christmas. But no fish. :/

[@eppagala]

My fish also just dies. Huhuhuhu.. :( He just drowned.

[@SacritheImmortal]

that takes some serious courage. could never do that myself to my lil babies. Thank the people who can.

[@meanjune]

For gods sake its a goldfish.

[@01234webster]

its not a goldfish its family :0

[@meanjune]

chris phoenix No, it's a fish that forgets who you are every 30 seconds or so.

[@01234webster]

nope not true they wouldnt learn to feed out our hand or show interest in you when you approach the tank

[@meanjune]

chris phoenix It's something called muscle memory. Food is food to them. They're quite stupid.

[@meanjune]

day .dream Nah, it's a dumb little useless fish. It's not even going to live long anyway.

Yes!! She served as dessert after providing their extended family with workers!! Nature is interesting...but omg still it freaked me out so much. I wanted to cry.

[@Carnis_Anubis]

I like how dramatic this video about a goldfish is.

[@joob443]

Plus their name is Cheeto

[@medek2711]

Because it's an operation, that can end up with several problems.Why can't it be dramatic? Well, then surgeries done on people can't be dramatic too.

[@Carnis_Anubis]

+Fegit I'm not saying that it can't be dramatic. I actually enjoyed the video, and was glad Cheeto seemed okay(in the video). I'm just simply stating what I thought about the video.

[@medek2711]

+JustAMaskedCat Yea, sorry :D

[@medek2711]

+JustAMaskedCat I just get mad for nothing sometimes...

[@coleomo]

Good for you I hate how everyone tells me it's just a fish those are people that get us nowhere in this world. That's really nice of you... And for people say it's nature it's not it humans who put fish in tanks so we must do everything we can to make it comfortable for them. Great vid

[@nstorcorzo]

Y'all so bogus let dem be they're happy im happy for them they saves cheetos life or w.e his name.was

[@2012farfar]

Omg, that brought tears to my eyes. :( Great people you and the doctor!

[@ChaosBW]

It's a goldfish. Feed it to a real pet, and get a new one. Save yourself the time and money.

[@ChaosBW]

Lindsey Kay Yes, somebody feeds a small invaluable fish to a turtle, so you say I, a priceless irreplaceable human being, should be fed to a shark, and you see no problem with your logic. If you see no more value in human life than a goldfish I am baffled how you are alive at all today while their are hundreds of animals more valuable than you dying every minute that you could sacrifice yourself to save by your logic. State some facts? No, you shit from your mouth. Every moron knows what a living animal is, only human beings are intelligent enough to see their purpose and value in the bigger picture. You are no more arguing than my turtle can fly, you are merely spewing the same filth you began with.

[@marlonprodigy9751]

Alright m8s stop fighting! Plus the man just thought the goldfish was fancy and wanted to try an experiment that's all no need to fight bout it

[@ChaosBW]

Marz-O-Slipo I'm about to try an experiment How many bong tokes I can take with a goldfish in the water before it swims upside down

[@marlonprodigy9751]

Ok good 4 u

[@briannaharter4411]

Babby Babbyson you shouldn't own pets especially not Reeves turtle since you torture animals and you don't feed them an healthy diet.goldfish are junk when it come to nutrition and live feeding is a huge risk for disease introduction and really isn't necessary for an animal that lives in captivity that won't ever live in the dammed wild. also goldfish do have personalities and are the dogs of the fish world with a rated intelligence level at the level of a puppy.

[@lyndaleoliver-musto23]

Thank you so much for sharing that. You must love your fish very much. My son has a pet goldfish whom he loves very much and I'm looking around our area to see if there are any vets that specialise. My sister had a goldfish which grew a tumour so large that it bulged from either side of the poor creature. It made me sick with anger to see the poor thing. Fish can't say "please help, it hurts."

[@lyndaleoliver-musto23]

A thought has occurred to me, after just posting, typically. You mentioned the other two fish were nibbling at the tumour? I don't know if it is possible but might they have sensed that it was harming their friend and were actually trying to remove the tumour, surgery in the only way a fish knows how?

[@sophiafrigoli]

Lyndale Oliver-Musto most likely cannibalism

[@lyndaleoliver-musto23]

Thank you, Sophia and Derped. I know that fish will eat dead tank mates and that some species will attack any other fish in the tank, but I didn't know that goldfish would do it. Do you know why the attacks started at the tumour? I would have thought that the fish would avoid the "tainted" area. Thanks.

[@kawaiimartha]

*tear* Aww; I'm So Happy That He Is Happy And Swimming Freely!

[@maryelinor9323]

awww he is such a kind man thats so nice xxx

[@snakesollid1798]

Amazing, video I wish there was more people like this they care about there pets

[@goldzzz14]

That is an awesome fish even though it's not the prettiest, and hat's off to you for your efforts and success with saving it

[@veelalynne]

I'm so glad the little guy is doing well! I had to give up goldfish keeping for the sake of the poor fish because I royally suck at it but I love seeing other people's fish thrive.

[@StealthyKunoichiAly]

what a happy story!!!!!

[@ohmyhi]

HA! I knew it! Today my dad said 'Vet's don't really take care of fish, do they?' and he didn't believe me but I kept telling him some do and being pre-vet i'm hoping to see all walks of life! And now my dad will stop saying 'They're just fish you cannot do anything for them' thank you guys for doing this and helping this little one

[@robertexcel5519]

Sure maybe a fish but this was nice,caring,and a true inspiration to me and I know to others as well

[@aaronrodgers77]

that was amazing! what a great thing you did. you saved his life!

[@Existantia]

That's a great story, and great that you did that for your fish. Sucks that people are saying "its just a fish" when there is obvious sentimental ties. It's YOUR pet and some people don't get it. My roomie went through the same thing when one of her guinea pigs died. She was CLEARLY upset and they said "You're upset over a guinea pig? GOD!!!" I think you're an awesome owner to do what you did! :)

[@danielaamaya6305]

We need more people in the world like this

[@Meatbagz]

This is really... Heartfelt and touching.

[@crystaltowers4665]

i want to be a vet someday and live by that quote in the beginning!

Omg I love this vid soooooo much I watched it like a hundred time last year and now I'm watching it again

[@phillydoodles]

Wow you're a hero! (Applause, applause, applause!!!) This is an inspiring story...I've never seen someone save a Goldfish. Usually they just let him/her die... Thank You (the fish would say!)

[@saraimolinar]

wow dude! Iam at vet school, and you did a great job for real. you really love your fish.

[@TheFayeKat]

This is also a really good video to show how big goldfish get - this is why you can't keep them in a 10 galleon tank folks >.< That guys is huge! Glad they were able to help him out.

[@emmaemily89898]

with the music, and the surtitles, i was like on the edge of my seat! well done! and Im glade he/she is doing well :)

[@SmartlilMGB]

I am in tears. That was truly amazing. I have quite a few fish (view my channel 2 see them) and I hope to learn how to do surgery one day. There is not one exotic vet close to where I live. Keep giving them all your love, great video thanks for sharing.

[@ItzjustaGthang]

your a good man for saving the fishes life thank you

[@deafguy-e6d]

Oh and to the video, I really liked it! So happy to see him to make it thru! Thank you for caring so much for Cheeto. :]

[@keepingupwiththecichlids]

As an aquarist, it's fascinating and self-gratifying to save a fish from death, especially since it is very difficult to do in most cases; It's not only about saving the life of an animal, but the challenge within itself.

[@gummylion45]

its sweet that you that you tried to save your fishie's life! i am happy he is better! cherish your life cheeto!

[@Kylieweist]

U saved his life that's awesome

[@Naturelover925]

Cheeto is very cute,I hope he lived.His tumor looked like a fungus to me.A friend of mine had a feeder gold fish that had grown about 6 in. long.It got a similar fungus on it's lips.Every day twice a day,they had to catch it,hold it out of the water,and rub fungus medicine on it's lips,till the fungus went away.It's amazing what we will do for our pets.God bless.

[@marsha1963]

Fantastic production and film- like quality, and touching words and music.

[@silverbulletgirl29]

And both fish swam off like a rocket after I let them go. I had brought them home in a large ice chest filled with pond water and then when I got home, put some ice cubes in there b/c they are cold water fish and bottom feeders and put them back, making sure the were still highly active and they were swimming like crazy and zoomed off when I brought them back to the pond. Darn! I shouldn't sampled the pond water and tested it too like most fish doctors do. So much to discover & learn.

[@Kettsii]

wow! I didn't know surgery for fish existed thanks for sharing this video and for saving a life!

[@AngryReptileKeeper]

*Sniff* That really was beautiful. I'm so glad he came through it okay, and that you are a decent and compassionate enough human being to help him in the first place instead of flushing him down the toilet. I've always wondered if surgery could be performed on fish, and I suppose now I have my answer. I've been looking into the cancer preventing and fighting effects of Cayenne (or more specifically, capsaicin) and wondered if it may help the big guy avoid another tumor. Just a thought.

[@TerribleTowelHD010]

He's Going to heaven for this

[@MeowzKitty]

This is freaking adorable. Fish surgery? You're the best, man!

[@goldhead101]

First video that i didnt click on to the next-watched the whole thing. Poor Chetto.

[@ConnorRobertCorcoran]

At first I thought it was just going to be like any other fish surgery video... But I'm wayyyy happier I chose this over a different video.

[@TiburonRaccoon]

I know people's comments are pretty cynical here, but I loved your sweet video about Cheeto. That was a lovely thing, having his tumor operated on! I hope he's alive and well today.

[@morgynnrae9683]

That was a cool video. You people are very nice to your creatures it seems.

[@JennaLeckrone]

this video changed my life

[@GerbiLTails]

That was a miracle! You must really love your fish :D.

[@iamajukebox]

This might sound crazy. Fancy goldfish, Comet goldfish and the well known "koi" fish can live to be over 20 years old, and over those years, if fed and kept correctly, develop personalities and even recognize owners with or without food in hand. Yes, they are fish and can be quite precious to their owners. Unlike some people who take the lives of these poor animals for granted and treat them as disposable toys.
